Tour Overview
Experience the magic of winter like never before on a guided self-drive road trip through the snowy wonderland of Georgia. Nestled between Europe and Asia, Georgia offers breathtaking mountain landscapes, charming villages blanketed in snow, and a rich cultural heritage. This winter, grab the wheel of a rugged SUV and embark on an unforgettable journey with MotoRover through sub-zero temperatures, winding snow-covered roads, and postcard-perfect alpine scenes.
This isn’t just a road trip. It’s a full-blown winter adventure. From thrilling cable car rides over pristine ski slopes to snowmobile excursions, husky sled rides and exhilarating toboggan rides, there’s something for everyone. Evenings are just as magical, with steaming cups of mulled wine and cosy outdoor bonfires under the starry Caucasus skies. You’ll travel in a small group of like-minded explorers, guided by experts, while still enjoying the freedom and privacy of driving your own vehicle.
We’ve taken care of everything so you can focus on the adventure. Your package includes a fully equipped Toyota 4Runner or Jeep Renegade automatic 4x4 SUV with winter tyres, car insurance for damage and third party, and fuel. You’ll enjoy comfortable hotel accommodation, all meals (breakfasts, lunches and dinners), tickets for winter activities, an Indian guide, a local guide, a mechanic and our support cars.
Just arrive and drive into the heart of Georgian winter.

Our Traveller Testimonials
Real, verified Google reviews from travellers who have toured with MotoRover.
Once you sign up, MotoRover takes away all your worries. I have done my second driving adventure with this family to Russia during the winters, the first being the Summer Baltic Tour. The tour managers are well trained and go out of their way to look after and pamper us. What I like best is they drive us through county roads as much as possible instead of the highways — this makes the drive a lot more scenic and you get a better feel of the country you are visiting. MotoRover feeds us very well, too well in fact, and the hotels they pick are amongst the best.
This was my first ever self-drive tour experience and I am glad my wife reached out to MotoRover for the Balkan Self-Drive Tour. Route planning (detours through National Parks), properties selected for night stays, coffee breaks and meals couldn't have been better. The local guide was an experienced professional, very passionate about giving us the best experience with safety first as his guiding principle. The ever-smiling tour manager from India added to the quality of experience. But the final takeaway was the awesome camaraderie that blossomed among fellow travellers — the best return on investment! Cheers to Kabir and Piyush.
This Russia 2024 Snow Drive with MotoRover has been by far the best experience for us. From fun to adventure and getting the best weather each day made the trip just amazing. Huskies, hovercraft, snow ATV, walks on a frozen lake, a stay in igloos, reaching the edge of the world, great local food, and so much more. Also making 16 friends who were unknown before and are now like family. BIG SHOUT to team MotoRover. This Russia Tour is a MUST do before you kick the bucket!
The self-drive trip in Kyrgyzstan in June 2024 with MotoRover was an exquisite experience. The unparalleled natural beauty of Kyrgyzstan was perfectly complemented by the meticulous planning and execution of the expedition by MotoRover and its team. Pragyesh, Simon, Luda, and the other members of the team put forth their best efforts to make the entire trip memorable for all of us.
Excellent tour management and hospitality. The team really cares about its customers and goes out of the way to ensure customer comfort and experience are maintained with high benchmarks. I have been with them on the Central Asia road trip and had the best experience from booking to arrival back in India. Customers are briefed well in advance regarding itinerary, routes, travel arrangements and vehicle support — the whole experience was seamless. The biggest highlight was two 70-year-old ladies who accompanied us; Piyush and his team took extra care to ensure their comfort was a top priority. A true example of customer-first thinking. Kudos to MotoRover!
