The snow-capped mountains of this visa-free country are so beautiful! The Caucasus Mountains are always worth it!

🏔️✨ Standing in the midst of Mount Kazbek, I opened the map and carefully discerned the directions. Just 14 kilometers away is Russia. Could this be the Great Caucasus Mountains that mark the boundary between Asia and Europe? As a former geography class representative, looking at the distant snow-capped mountains, the geographical knowledge about the Caucasus Mountains seemed to flood back into my mind. 🤦🏻‍♂️✨ It's as if I saw myself back in geography class, looking at our geography teacher who had long since gone bald, emphasizing over and over again that everything about the Great Caucasus Mountains was a key point for the exams, and that these knowledge points had to be remembered. I never imagined that after more than a decade, I would be standing on the very knowledge points I had firmly memorized. 🏞✨ 'Where is the boundary line of the Eurasian continent?' 'What is the difference in the snow line between the north and south slopes?' 'A brief analysis of the reasons for the numerous rivers in the central region of the Caucasus Mountains'—these knowledge points flashed through my mind, as if the present me was having a time-traveling dialogue with the student me. 🇬🇪✨ In fact, before coming to Georgia, I can say that I hardly did any planning. The visa-free policy and direct flights from home only informed me that Mount Kazbek was beautiful, but I never expected it to be the Great Caucasus Mountains. Standing at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, it seemed as if long-sealed memories were awakened. 📸✨ The solemn main peak of Mount Kazbek, covered with pure white snow, and the biting cold wind of the Caucasus, even in summer, feels icy cold. As long as it's a clear day, it's a great opportunity for 📷 photography. Standing on the alpine meadow, whether photographing the snow-capped mountains in front or the profound churches, it's all a beautiful scene. 📸✨ The majestic snow-capped mountains are imposing, and no matter how you 📷 photograph them, they are stunningly beautiful. But turning to look at the lazy herd of cows lying on the grassland, there's a different kind of beauty, one of peaceful times, which is truly intoxicating. The distant church, like a pearl, is set in this picturesque scenery, standing independently amidst the green forests. 🏔️✨ Standing on the pure summit of such high mountains, it feels as if all things have been cleansed of their superficiality, and I just want to sit quietly on the ground, spacing out, quietly enjoying the scent of snow-capped mountains and green grass. That feeling that everything is just right is indescribable in any language.

Mt Kazbek

After a long, steep climb in 32 degrees, we reached the view point of the glacier below mount Kazbeg. The route is clear and very busy. It can be difficult terrain at times, so walking boots and poles are advised. Climb time from the gergeti church was 2 1/2 hours and 1 1/2 hours descent. Very well worth the effort for amazing unrivalled views. #givethanks #givethanks
