Chalaadi Glacier

Highlight • Natural Monument

Be careful to not get too close to glacier (under it) a lot of rocks fall down. We really were lucky to not be smashed by one big rock!

Mestiachala River at Chalaadi Glacier

Highlight • River

From the small town of Mestia, head upstream along the Mestiachala river, which flows through Mestia itself, until you reach a tributary, the Chalaadi river. The Chalaadi river is named after the glacier from which it flows. Now, all you need to do is cross a footbridge over the water and continue upstream along the river. Expect the journey from Mestia to the glacier to take approx. 3 hours of walking.
