Tucked between Europe and Asia, Georgia is an emerging gem for Indian travelers, offering snowy peaks, historic monasteries, scenic wine valleys, and a culture that’s warm and welcoming. With its charming capital Tbilisi, the stunning Caucasus Mountains, and a rich blend of Eastern and Western heritage, Georgia provides a European experience without the European price tag. Visa-free entry for Indian passport holders (with valid US/UK/Schengen visas), affordable hotels, and Indian food options make it a rising favorite among Indian honeymooners, families, and travel enthusiasts. Mauzee Holiday creates personalized Georgia packages so you can explore this underrated destination with ease and comfort.
✈️ Visa and Flights from India
Indian passport holders with a valid US, UK, Schengen, UAE or EU residence visa can enter Georgia without a separate Georgian visa. Otherwise, an e-visa is available online, and Mauzee Holiday will assist you through the process. Flights to Tbilisi operate via hubs like Dubai, Doha, or Istanbul with airlines like Flydubai, Qatar Airways, and Turkish Airlines. Total travel time is about 9–12 hours depending on stopovers. Indian tourists can also combine Georgia with nearby countries like Armenia or Azerbaijan for a multi-country experience.
🏞️ Best Places to Visit in Georgia
Start your trip in Tbilisi, Georgia’s colorful capital, with its cobbled streets, sulphur baths, and stunning views from Narikala Fortress. Visit the Old Town, stroll across the Bridge of Peace, and explore vibrant cafes and art galleries. Take a day trip to Kazbegi (Stepantsminda) for snow-capped mountains and the famous Gergeti Trinity Church overlooking Mount Kazbek. In Mtskheta, a UNESCO-listed town, visit ancient cathedrals and monasteries that mark Georgia’s Christian roots. Gudauri is perfect for snow lovers, skiing, and winter fun, while Kakheti is Georgia’s wine country—ideal for vineyard tours and scenic countryside. Batumi, a Black Sea resort town, offers modern architecture, beaches, and casinos.

🥘 Indian Food and Local Cuisine
While Georgian cuisine is delicious with dishes like khachapuri (cheese bread), khinkali (dumplings), and lobio (bean stew), Indian travelers will find Indian restaurants in Tbilisi such as Tandoori Nights, Sanjha Chulha, and Delhi Darbar. Vegetarian and Jain-friendly food can also be arranged with prior notice. Mauzee ensures that your dietary needs are met across all destinations, with Indian meals available at hotels or nearby restaurants.
💰 Currency & Budget Tips
The local currency is the Georgian Lari (GEL). 1 INR ≈ 0.04 GEL (approx. 1 GEL ≈ 25–27 INR). Georgia is much more affordable than Western Europe. Meals cost around INR 300–500, and hotels range from budget to 4-star and boutique properties. Forex cards work well, and cash can be withdrawn at ATMs or exchanged in the city. Mauzee helps you manage local expenses smartly and plans tours within your desired budget.
📲 Connectivity & SIM Cards
Buying a local SIM card is easy at the Tbilisi airport or in city shops. Magti and Geocell offer prepaid SIMs with high-speed data. Free Wi-Fi is widely available in cafes, hotels, and public spots. Mauzee can assist with SIM arrangements upon arrival for uninterrupted connectivity.
🧳 What to Pack for Georgia
In summer (May to September), pack light clothes, sunglasses, and sunscreen. For autumn and spring, layer up with a light jacket. Winters (December to February) are snowy and require heavy jackets, gloves, and boots—especially in Kazbegi and Gudauri. Comfortable walking shoes, a universal adapter, and a travel backpack are must-haves year-round.
🚖 Getting Around
Tbilisi has a metro, buses, taxis, and ride-hailing apps like Bolt. For sightseeing beyond the city, Mauzee Holiday arranges private vehicles with English-speaking drivers, which are more convenient and safe for Indian families or groups. Internal travel to Gudauri or Kakheti is mostly by road through scenic landscapes.
🎁 Shopping & Souvenirs
Georgia is famous for wine, handmade wool scarves, ceramics, churchkhela (traditional sweets), icon paintings, and jewelry. In Tbilisi, visit Dry Bridge Market and Meidan Bazaar for authentic souvenirs. Bargaining is not common, but fixed-price shops and local artisans offer quality products.
📸 Instagram Spots in Georgia
Capture stunning shots at the Bridge of Peace, Narikala Fortress, snowy Kazbegi, colourful balconies of Tbilisi, wine vineyards in Kakheti, and the picturesque Gudauri Viewpoint with its iconic friendship monument. Whether it’s for reels or wedding shoots, Georgia is photogenic in every season.
📅 Best Time to Visit
Georgia can be visited year-round. Spring (April–June) and autumn (September–October) are best for pleasant weather and scenic landscapes. Winter (December–February) is ideal for skiing in Gudauri and snow-covered mountains. Summer is warm but great for wine tours and city exploration. Mauzee Holiday recommends the ideal time based on your preferences—be it snow, nature, or festivals.
⚠️ Travel Tips & Etiquette
Georgia is safe and tourist-friendly. Carry your passport while traveling between cities. Taxis should be pre-booked or app-based. Respect churches by dressing modestly—headscarves may be needed for women. Avoid tap water and use bottled water instead. Georgians are warm and welcoming; a few words like “Gamarjoba” (Hello) or “Madloba” (Thank you) go a long way!
