The border at Upper Lars
The bus enters Georgia at the Kazbegi checkpoint, known in Russia as Upper Lars; from there to Tbilisi is about 155 km along the Georgian Military Road. The crossing closes at times, most often from December to March because of snow, so check the status the day before you leave, in the news of the Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Georgia requires travel insurance to enter: cover of at least 30,000 GEL (lari, Georgian currency) for the whole stay, mandatory since 1 January 2026. Read what the policy must include.
