Leri niguriani
CO-Founder IFMGA Mountain Guide
Leri has been actively hiking in the mountains since 1997. At first, it was just for fun, but then he took the job seriously and took on a few professional routes both on the Caucasus and on the Pamir-Tianshan Mountains.
"The mountain teaches you a lot about relationships, people and nature. There are different values here. More pure and natural. I didn't choose the mountains, it happened naturally. I just grew up here. Anyone who has ever visited these mountains admits that the Caucasus Mountains are extraordinary, but Ushba alone is worth it. Mystical, dangerous, beautiful, attractive, intricate. The highest peaks of the Caucasus are located in Svaneti. Wild, untapped...You are literally alone with the mountain here, just you and the mountain. Unfortunately, we found ourselves in such a reality that no one would have thought. The role of ordinary people is an essential thing in this particular situation. Medics, militaries and much more work uninterruptedly for almost 24 hours. We can help them by doing one very simple thing! By staying home! "

Lasha kvekveskiri
CO-Founder : IFMGA Mountain Guide
Lasha was born in Abkhazia. Compared to other guides, he started mountain hiking relatively late. It took a lot of hard work for him to catch up with the other members of his team. After gaining enough knowledge and experience, he took mountain guide courses and is now an expert at the same school.
"Walking in the mountains is a meditation, it requires a lot of thinking and concentration, so it is an ideal place to relax. The mountains of Svaneti have a unique energy. You'll feel at home. It is a place of dreams with its history and culture."
