Hi Dougie, glad you enjoyed the film and thanks for your kind words. We'll be putting up a travel blog about our treks in Georgia shortly. It's still pretty underdeveloped for international tourism which adds to its charm. Trails are being developed and upgraded and some are more used than others (i.e., in Svaneti). But overall the number of people trekking was not too many, and these were mainly from Eastern Europe and Russia; we met very few people from Britain and Ireland. Most people were independent backpackers and we really enjoyed chatting to them.

Purple Peak Adventures It's somewhere I'll need to visit before the landscape is 'developed' then. What are the tall, tower structures? Are they silos?

Dougie, they're defensive towers which date mainly from the medieval period when blood feuding was endemic, and were used as a place of refuge for extended families, their livestock, goods and chattels. Precious religious items were also occasionally stored within them, particularly those in Svaneti, to keep them safe from marauding Mongol, Persian and Arab invaders. Yes, go soon, as the numbers of tourists will just keep on rising and many places will undoubtedly lose their rustic charm.

Purple Peak Adventures Thanks, what tour company did you use?

Dougie, we didn't use a tour company, we arranged everything ourselves via the internet (flights from Dublin with Lufthansa, train bookings, restaurants, hotel in Tbilisi, homestays in Svaneti, taxis etc.) as we are hoping to take people trekking there in future. Many young people speak very good English, older people can speak Russian, so knowing a few words and phrases helps a lot.

Thank you.

Spasibo vam za tsioplie slova daragoi..🙏🥰

Om Galad thanks. We loved trekking in Georgia and adored the food and wine

@@EtherealLightPhotography Perhaps I will go one days. Caucasus mountains are very special, because it is a natural frontier between Europe and Middle-Easrt. And, as white people, we are designed as Caucasoid. But I ignored is it a very beautiful country. Thanks so much for you videos.

Thanks for your comments, much appreciated

Keti Japaridze thanks

Juergen Hoffmann thanks much appreciated

Thanks, Adrian. Georgia is absolutely breathtaking, one of the best places we have visited anywhere in the world for landscapes, flora, culture, history, friendly people, gastronomy, plus it's the birthplace of really excellent wine!! It's also still relatively unspoiled and will not hit you hard in the pocket. We're planning to return there for sure :-)

Pawel Gaul thanks, glad you liked our video. Martin and Sharron

Thank you, Georgia is certainly a beautiful country and let us hope that it remains so.

Georgia is a lovely place. We hope to return there too soon!

Cheers, Ray. Will have a good look at some of your more recent stuff now we have a bit more time. Been a difficult year for us with two deaths in our families, and moving house from Wicklow to Donegal. Not much time for filming.

Thank you! 😊

Guglielmo Biason glad you liked our video and hope you enjoyed Georgia too. We would love to go back there again soon and maybe run some photo tours. Martin and Sharron

Hi Happy Hikers, glad you enjoyed the film. If you read the blogs on our website (purplepeakadventures.com), it will give you maps of where we trekked. There are numerous places worth trekking through in the High Caucasus, but the logistics can be challenging. Hope you make it!

Where you and your people were when you were released from hell. The carcass maintains

lmao this is Georgia the country, its near Russia and Turkey

Thanks, Mark. Just back from a photo tour of West Cornwall. Georgia was excellent, incredible value for money and a place we want to return to in the future. Great landscapes, rich heritage and culture, friendly people, fabulous food and the wine is to die for!

Georgia is awesome! A bit more of that won't go a miss at all. Peace!

Thanks, we love Goergia

Thanks

The singer's name is Ana Bajiashvili of the group Iavnana, an she is singing a Georgian folk song named ოროველა (Orovela).

Thanks, much appreciated

It's a great country

Georgia a great country

Honest Georgian Guide thanks for your nice comment

Thanks

Thanks!

Thanks and welcome

Thanks, much appreciated. Martin and Sharron

Thanks for the comment, much appreciated. I usually carry a full frame Pentax K1 dSLR with 28-105mm lens (often plus a 20mm or 14mm lens for astro photography), various ND and grad filters (with holder), 4 to 6 batteries and a small carbon fibre tripod. About an extra 4kg to 5kg on top of a 20kg+ back pack!. I partner carries a Panasonic GH4 with 14-140mm lens (mainly for the video) and batteries and we share the tripod. Hope this helps

@@EtherealLightPhotography amazing thanks a ton, keep walking keep recording 🤙✌

Yes, it's a lovely country

Thanks, we would love to go back to Georgia

Thanks we loved being there

Thanks, love to be in Georgia again

Hello from Ireland. Your country is so photogenic. We loved the landscape and people

Heini, thank you so much for your kind comments, especially so coming from someone who is so experienced in trekking and wild camping. We film in 4K using Panasonic cameras and photos/time lapse are mostly done with a full frame Pentax dSLR. Downside is having to carry all the gear plus kit, tent and food. This year was exceptionally hot in Georgia (40 deg Tbilisi and even hot and humid in the mountains) so progress was not the fastest! But Georgia is a fantastic place to visit. Lovely people. Great food and even better wine. Also great value for money with accommodation, food and drinks a third of the cost in the West.

Hi Tomasz, it's Ana Bajiashvili of the group Iavnana, singing a Georgian folk song named ოროველა (Orovela). It's a truly haunting melody that touched me profoundly the first time I heard it. It captures the soul of Georgia perfectly.

Thank You :)

Thanks much appreciated

Cheers! Would love to hike part of the Appalachian Trail before we're too old and knackered :D

Happy Hikers Hi.. Helo.. 🎈 You have nice face 🌷

The Truso hike can be done in a single day. The Chaukhi Massif trek was 5 nights and the Svaneti trek 4 nights. Check our website for more details

It's the Adishi Glacier. Full info on the hiking route is in our Svaneti blog, third link in the video description given above.

Joakim Henriksen This is the Georgian Folk peasant plough song__ Gadi gamodi, Gutano. I will try to translate: Go out and come back, my plow , Sing the bass, little wheel Cut into the ground , Cut the roots of the weeds. My cherished plow, With your crooked neck; U are the bringer of bread, And the protector of barley Georgia have rich Musical Culture that counts over Centuries. Georgian polyphony is an invaluable tradition listed UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. They are singing sense ancient times, during celebration Feasts (Supra) , weddings and even funerals. Georgia has rich and still vibrant traditional music, which is primarily known as arguably the earliest polyphonic tradition of the Christian World. There are great number of healing songs, funerary ritual songs, Dance songs, lullabies, traveling songs... U can go U-tube and see ( if u wish) Hamlet Gonashvili Songs. and Georgian dances like: Sukhishvilebi. Dance: Sdo, Daisi, Osiri... u will loved ... I hope u will enjoy.

Also: Old TBILISI... Mcketha, Svaneti, Signaghi... Kasbegi... Beautiful...

Thank you🙂
