Issues when camping during trek in Georgia?
What should I consider when planning to sleep in tents during trekking in Georgia?
We plan to move for about 2 weeks to Georgia, about half that time in cities, half in the mountains. The tourist base is AFAIK quite weak, so we've thought about taking tents. So, what should we consider? Is it safe to camp in Georgia? Are there regions where it's fully safe and regions which we should avoid? What places would you recommend going to spend beautiful days and safe nights on the mountains of that country?
