Georgia Tour Packages from India

A Georgia tour package from India costs roughly ₹65,000 to ₹1,10,000 per person, land-only, for a 5–7 night Tbilisi, Kazbegi, and Kakheti wine-country circuit and it's one of the easiest new international destinations for Indian travellers to reach: IndiGo now flies direct from both Delhi and Mumbai, no long layover required. Add the world's oldest wine-making tradition, Soviet-era and medieval history side by side, and mountain scenery that rivals Switzerland at a fraction of the cost, and Georgia is quickly becoming one of the best-value international trips available from India.

The visa is simple, but has one new step worth knowing. Indian passport holders apply for an e-Visa online no embassy visit and since January 2026 must also carry mandatory travel insurance to be allowed entry. Both are explained in full below.

Georgia trip at a glance

Do Indians need a visa for Georgia in 2026?

Yes, but it's genuinely simple Indian citizens apply for a Georgia e-Visa entirely online at the official portal, evisa.gov.ge, with no embassy visit required. The visa costs roughly $20–35 in government and service fees (commonly quoted around ₹6,000–6,500 all-in through visa-assistance services), takes 5–7 working days to process, and is valid for 120 days from issue, permitting a stay of up to 30 days.

A 2026-specific step worth knowing about in advance: after submitting the e-Visa application and paying the consular fee, applicants receive a DuVerify identity-verification link by email and must complete it, along with a further $15 fee, within 24 hours missing this window results in automatic rejection of the application.

The step people forget: mandatory travel insurance. From 1 January 2026, every tourist entering Georgia must carry health and accident insurance with a minimum coverage of 30,000 GEL (approximately USD 11,000). This is checked at entry, and travellers without qualifying coverage can be denied entry even with a valid, approved e-Visa. Budget for this alongside the visa fee, not as an afterthought.

Indian passport holders who already hold a valid visa or residence permit from certain countries including the US, UK, Schengen area, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea, and the GCC states can skip the Georgian e-Visa entirely and enter visa-free for up to 90 days within a 180-day period, provided that third-country visa or permit is still valid at the time of entry.

What you need

● Passport with at least 6 months' validity and at least 2 blank pages

● Confirmed return flight and hotel booking details

● Proof of funds — typically shown as roughly USD 50 per day of stay

● Mandatory travel insurance meeting the 30,000 GEL minimum coverage requirement

● Completed DuVerify identity verification within 24 hours of the initial e-Visa application

A quick, honest note on safety

Georgia is rated at the lowest risk level by the US, UK, Canadian, and Australian governments for the vast majority of the country, including the standard tourist circuit of Tbilisi, Kazbegi, Kakheti, Svaneti, and Batumi. The consistent guidance across these advisories is to avoid the Russian-occupied regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia and the immediate boundary areas around them — but the popular day trip from Tbilisi to Kazbegi (for Gergeti Trinity Church and Mount Kazbek) travels via Highway E60, which sits outside the restricted zone and is a route travelled daily by tourists without incident. Worth knowing, and worth not worrying about on the routes Bayard actually itineraries.

Customize this itinerary →

Tbilisi, Kazbegi & Kakheti — 6 Days / 5 Nights (recommended addition)

Best for couples and first-time visitors wanting a fuller, less rushed pace

The same core route as the 5-day break, with an extra day built in for either a slower Tbilisi city exploration or an additional Kakheti village and monastery stop — genuinely useful given how much ground the shorter itinerary covers in a single day.

Getting to Georgia from your city

Georgia is a genuine connectivity win among Bayard's international destinations: IndiGo flies direct from Delhi to Tbilisi daily, in around 6 to 6.5 hours nonstop, and added a direct Mumbai–Tbilisi service from 2 August 2026, three times a week, in around 5.5 hours nonstop making Mumbai the second Indian city with direct Georgia access. South India doesn't have a direct flight yet, so Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Kochi travellers connect via Delhi, Mumbai, or a Gulf hub such as Dubai, Doha, or Kuwait.

Where to go in Georgia

Tbilisi — Old Town, Wine Bars, and Sulfur Baths

The near-universal entry point and cultural heart of a Georgia trip: the Old Town's wooden-balconied streets along the Mtkvari River, Narikala Fortress overlooking the city, the historic sulfur bathhouses of Abanotubani, and a genuinely excellent, affordable wine-bar and restaurant scene.

Kazbegi — Gergeti Trinity Church and Mount Kazbek

A full-day trip from Tbilisi along the scenic Georgian Military Highway, via the Ananuri Fortress, to the Gergeti Trinity Church at 2,170m, framed against Mount Kazbek's glaciers. One of the most photographed sights in the Caucasus and a genuine highlight of a first Georgia trip.

Kakheti — Georgia's Wine Country

The heart of 8,000 years of Georgian winemaking, centred on the qvevri clay-vessel fermentation method still used today. Sighnaghi, a hilltop town with sweeping valley views, and family-run wine cellars offering tastings of native grape varieties like Saperavi, make this an easy and rewarding day trip from Tbilisi.

Svaneti — Medieval Tower Villages

A longer add-on rather than a first-trip anchor: remote medieval stone tower villages, dramatic mountain scenery around Mestia, and — in winter — skiing that's increasingly popular with international visitors. Worth 2–3 extra nights on a longer or repeat Georgia trip.

Batumi — Black Sea Coast

Georgia's warm-weather counterpoint to its mountain scenery: a Black Sea beach resort city with a distinctive modern skyline, botanical gardens, and a livelier nightlife scene. A genuine extension option for travellers wanting to pair mountains and wine country with a few beach days.

Who this trip suits

● First-time international travellers wanting an easy, direct-flight destination with genuinely different scenery and culture

● Wine and food lovers drawn to the world's oldest wine-making tradition and Georgia's distinctive cuisine

● Couples and photographers wanting mountain scenery, medieval architecture, and a less-crowded alternative to Europe

● Trekking and adventure travellers, especially via a Svaneti extension

Less suited to: travellers wanting a beach-first trip (Batumi works as an add-on, not a primary draw) or anyone who'd rather skip the mandatory travel-insurance step — it's a genuine, non-negotiable requirement since January 2026.

Practical notes for Indian travellers

Vegetarian and Indian food

Tbilisi has a genuinely well-established and growing Indian restaurant scene, with several long-running options offering strong vegetarian menus: Khushi Indian Restaurant, Maharaja Indian Restaurant, and Spice Garden are all well-reviewed and easy to find, and most Indian restaurants in the city offer halal and vegetarian options as standard. Georgian cuisine itself is also genuinely vegetarian-friendly if you know what to order: khinkali (dumplings) come in potato, cheese, or mushroom fillings alongside the traditional meat version, and khachapuri (Georgia's famous cheese bread) is vegetarian by default. Indian food in Tbilisi is affordable, typically 15–40 GEL (roughly ₹550–1,450) per dish.

Currency and cards

Georgia uses the Georgian Lari (GEL), trading at roughly ₹36–37 to 1 GEL as of August 2026 — check the live rate before travel since it moves. Cards are widely accepted in Tbilisi hotels, restaurants, and shops; carry some Lari in cash for taxis, markets, and smaller towns like Sighnaghi or Kazbegi, where card acceptance is less consistent. Exchange currency in Tbilisi before heading to smaller towns, which typically offer worse rates.

Getting around

Tbilisi has an efficient and affordable metro, bus, and taxi network; ride-hailing apps work well in the capital. Kazbegi, Kakheti, and Svaneti are typically visited via a private driver or organised day trip rather than public transport, given the distances and mountain roads involved.

Local etiquette

The Georgian supra (feast) is a genuine cultural institution built around wine, toasting, and hospitality — if invited to one, expect a toastmaster (tamada) to lead a long sequence of toasts; participating, even with a small amount of wine or a soft-drink substitute, is considered good manners.

Common mistakes to avoid

● Booking flights and hotels before completing the DuVerify step of the e-Visa application — missing the 24-hour window causes automatic rejection

● Travelling without insurance meeting the 30,000 GEL minimum — this is checked at entry and can result in being denied entry even with an approved e-Visa

● Assuming a direct flight exists from your South Indian city — only Delhi and Mumbai currently have direct Georgia connections

● Rushing Kazbegi and Kakheti into a single day — both deserve their own full day, and cramming both into one is a common first-timer regret

● Exchanging large amounts of currency in small towns like Sighnaghi or Kazbegi rather than in Tbilisi, where rates are consistently better

Georgia package FAQs

Do Indians need a visa for Georgia?

Yes, but it's simple. Indian citizens apply for an e-Visa online at evisa.gov.ge — no embassy visit required. It costs roughly $20–35, takes 5–7 working days, and is valid 120 days from issue for a stay of up to 30 days.

What is DuVerify and why does it matter for the Georgia e-Visa?

DuVerify is a mandatory identity-verification step introduced in 2026. After submitting your e-Visa application and paying the fee, you receive a DuVerify link by email and must complete it, plus a $15 charge, within 24 hours — missing this window causes automatic rejection.

Do I need travel insurance to visit Georgia?

Yes. Since 1 January 2026, all tourists must carry health and accident insurance with a minimum coverage of 30,000 GEL (about USD 11,000). You can be denied entry without it, even with a valid e-Visa.

Are there direct flights from India to Georgia?

Yes — IndiGo flies direct from Delhi to Tbilisi daily, and added direct Mumbai–Tbilisi flights from August 2026, three times a week. No South Indian city has a direct flight yet.

How much does a Georgia trip cost from India?

Typically ₹65,000–₹1,10,000+ per person, land-only, for a 5–6 night Tbilisi, Kazbegi, and Kakheti circuit, depending on hotel category. Confirm current pricing directly with Bayard.

Is Georgia safe for Indian tourists?

Yes, for the standard tourist circuit — Tbilisi, Kazbegi, Kakheti, Svaneti, and Batumi are all rated low-risk by major travel advisories. The guidance is to avoid the Russian-occupied regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia specifically; the popular Kazbegi day trip via Highway E60 is unaffected.

How many days are enough for Georgia?

5–6 days covers Tbilisi, Kazbegi, and Kakheti comfortably. Add 2–3 days for a Svaneti or Batumi extension, or combine with Armenia and Azerbaijan for a longer Caucasus circuit.

What is the best time to visit Georgia from India?

May–June and September–October offer the most comfortable weather and the best balance of good conditions and manageable crowds. September–October also coincides with the Kakheti grape harvest.

Is vegetarian and Indian food available in Georgia?

Yes. Tbilisi has a well-established Indian restaurant scene — Khushi, Maharaja, and Spice Garden are well-reviewed options — and Georgian dishes like khinkali and khachapuri come in genuinely good vegetarian versions.

What currency should I carry in Georgia?

The Georgian Lari (GEL), trading at roughly ₹36–37 to 1 GEL. Cards work well in Tbilisi; carry cash for smaller towns like Sighnaghi and Kazbegi.

Can I combine Georgia with Armenia and Azerbaijan?

Yes, and Georgia is usually the natural routing hub for a combined Caucasus trip, since the Armenia–Azerbaijan land border has been closed since the early 1990s and travellers can't cross directly between the two.

How far in advance should I book a Georgia trip?

3–4 weeks is comfortable for most dates, given the straightforward e-Visa process. Book earlier for the July–August and September–October peak windows, when Tbilisi and Kazbegi hotels fill up.
