Question Georgia Route from Tioneti to Zhinvali

Hi there, does anyone know if the route from Tioneti to Zhinvali ist doable.
It´s marked as a minor road or "other road".
Both GPS devices don´t suggest this road...
As always the locals vary from "on a donkey, yes!" to "perfect road".
I have to decide beforehand
Would appreciate any advice.

Haven't driven it but I'm 99% sure it is fine, as long as you're not in a Lamborghini.

I drove from Mtskheta to Khevsureti (Shatili etc) and passed a little bit of that route. The road was pretty OK and I vaguely remember the junction to Tianeti.

I hope you have the time to visit the mountains. Svaneti, Tusheti, Khevsureti and Racha are all fascinating destinations with beautiful views.

I´ve been to Mestia. I arrived in rain, the next day the rain stopped for one day and then started again for a week, so I left to Tbilisi. I´ll stay two days in Stepantsminda.

So I did that road, which was rough but very scenic.
I liked it very much, but my tires didn´t.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
