GEORGIA FROM INDIA
Entry options, the e-visa route, insurance and a first look at Tbilisi, the mountains, wine country and the Black Sea coast.
ENTRY ROUTES
Indian passports are not one-size-fits-all for Georgia. Whether you need an e-visa depends on your own documents, so confirm on Georgia's official portals before you pay for flights.
E-VISA
If you need a visa, Georgia's official e-visa portal says a decision takes up to 5 working days, extendable to 10 if extra checks are needed.
INSURANCE
Border officers may ask for health or accident insurance covering your whole stay. Without it, you could be refused entry.
MOUNTAINS
The Georgian Military Road leads north to Stepantsminda. Mountain weather changes fast, so keep a spare day in winter.
HIGH VILLAGES
Stone defensive towers and glacier views make Svaneti a highlight. It is a long journey, so give it at least two nights.
WINE COUNTRY
Kakheti is Georgia's main wine region. Hilltop Sighnaghi makes an easy base for winery visits and Alazani Valley views.
HISTORY
An ancient town carved into rock near Gori. Wear good shoes, as the stone paths are uneven and slippery after rain.
SOUTH GEORGIA
Hundreds of cave rooms cut into a cliff in southern Georgia. Pair it with Borjomi or Akhaltsikhe to break the drive.
CHECKLIST
Confirm your entry route, apply early if you need an e-visa, carry insurance for the full stay and keep return and hotel details handy.
