(This trail is drawn by hand, distance and elevation gain is less than actual)

This trail starts from Queen Tamar Monument in Mestia, you head toward Hatsvali lower cable station, from there you start the ascent just beside the cable car to the right hiking up through trees, grass..to Hatsvali Middle Car Station then continue from there at the most difficult part of the VERTICAL ASCENT toward Hatsvali Upper Station, you'll find more difficulty finding ground through shrubs, bushes..into your face, hat, cloth..look at photo attached..
This whole ascent is roughly more than 1500m. It will be too difficult especially that there is no path..you'll be opening your way up hardly & making it harder as trail starting through it..
But when I reached to the Upper Hastvali station(you'll be at left side of it, do not go toward it, stay left..), felt a huge boost of energy/confidence(maybe anti reaction to exhaustion, you might feel differently, be careful) to continue the trail despite it was just the beginning😀.
(The alternative of this ascent is easy zigzag path of 9km from start point)

From uphill at left of Hatsvali upper station you continue toward Mentashi Higher Transmitter, stay on left path don't go down.
After reaching Transmitter there's a beautiful view you can take a short rest & enjoy..
Then you continue down through steep path btw narrow trees, I got delayed at that point as 6 hikers were literally baby step descending through..had to provide help/wait..be cautious.
At end of descent you reach an open wide land where as you walk you'll reach a point you go right to Tsvirmi village or continue upward our path toward Zuruldi peak, the wonderful view of Mount Ushba &..near the 2 alike pools.
From there you continue down..to Nice Colorful field you'll see Tsvirmi Virgin Mary Church from far distance, horses cows..on field, you turn left NOT heading toward church direction down there..
After walking a distance you reach bus stop, took a short rest inside there then continued on way directly facing NOT the asphalt road.
Toward Tetnuldi ski stations where you turn right on Adishi lower trail(upper trail is optional but you can take a short hike for the view when you're at Adishi village if you want).
At start of turning right you can see a spring water(left) where is the "First" good refill water point on this trail.
Then continue through trees..little river cross..to Adishi where after you pass by Guesthouses at first part of village you'll find a good spring to fill water for next day, located exactly at small wooden bridge on left side..
Then you continue upward toward a big field on right down side you can camp just above a running long river BUT I preferred camping above it just beside a small tower, more quiet & safer from animals crossing..
Day 1 ends there at Amazing Adishi, at night was -6 degrees.
Day 2 started with Beautiful Ice Shapes decorating my tent
Around 9am started heading toward the main critical point- river crossing where traffic was all over, some hikers were reluctant to cross, others crossing slowly, more others thinking of riding the horse afforded for price by locals there..
I decided to just cross it straight ahead with my boots that drew shocking attention of all other hikers😱BUT I do not recommend this crazy move😂
On other end of river, emptied water from boot & continued with wet feet(don't)upward to a steep ascent(at start of it there's a small spring water & good view nearby at glacier from downside) toward Chkhunderi pass where you can hike left upward to get Splendid view at the glacier then you return to the pass point and go left straight down toward an intersection-you go right to Khalde then Iprali where there's good spring water near guesthouses(go left at mid village path).Then passby Davberi on the way to Ushguli-Trail ends.
