Why Packing for Georgia Confuses Most Indians

  • Weather changes by altitude
    Tbilisi, Gudauri, and Batumi all have different climates on the same day.

  • Even summer evenings turn cool
    A light layer is still needed.

  • Winter temperatures vary a lot
    Gudauri can be freezing while Tbilisi stays mild.

  • Families get stressed about kids’ clothing
    Many overpack due to fear.

  • People are not used to Georgia’s layering culture
    Locals dress in layers instead of heavy clothes.

Overpacking is extremely common
Bags get heavier than needed.
