On summer days, most tourists tend to cool down in the mountainous areas of Svaneti, Tusheti, Khevsureti, and Upper Ajara. Hikers can scale Kazbegi, Ushba, and Tetnuldi, while those looking for a totally different experience can wander into the staggering caves of Sataplia, Prometheus, and Tetra. Overall, there are about 30 caves in Georgia, as well as more than 26,000 rivers, many of which are suitable for rafting or kayaking.
