Rivers & Swimming near Kazbegi

💡 Quick Tips

• 1.The Terek river is accessible at multiple points in the Kazbegi valley; the calm section near the village bridge has shallow pools where dogs wade and swim safely.
• 2.The Truso Gorge (25 km east on a jeep track, 1,900m-2,400m altitude) has extraordinary mineral springs and colour-streaked rock formations; the river here is calm and dogs swim in the turquoise pools.
• 3.Short-haired dogs will be cold in the Terek river; long-haired and Nordic breeds (Husky, Malamute, Golden Retriever) enjoy the cold glacial water enormously.
