Mountain access is highly seasonal
Tbilisi, wine regions, the Black Sea and Caucasus routes require road or rail planning. Snow, landslides and border conditions can affect mountain travel.

Formal anti-discrimination provisions have not prevented intimidation or restrictions on public expression. Private hospitality settings do not remove broader political and social risk.
