There are several eastern approaches to the Svaneti road. There is a road from the south that originates in [[Kutaisi]] and then travels through [[Tskaltubo]] and [[Tsageri]]. Another road starts in [[Kutaisi]], travels through [[Lajanurhesi]], and then joins with the road going on to [[Lentekhi]]. The third approach is from the [[Racha]] region, east of Svaneti. It travels through [[Ambrolauri]], onto [[Lajanurhesi]] and then up to [[Lentekhi]]. The Svaneti road then travels through the cities of [[Lentekhi]], [[Ushguli]], [[Jpari]], [[Zhabeshi]], etc.
There are also several mountain passes on this approach. These include Zagaro Pass and Ughviri Pass (1700 2700 meters). Both can be snowed in late into the season so check conditions or be prepared to walk. According There are for sure no Marshrutkas from Lentekhi to locals Ushguli and v.v. The road is a seasonal road for summer driving only, means that there are is absolutely no mashrudtkas taking "real traffic" but a fewforeighners do this road as a special challenge with their Jeeps. [[User:seee]] waited in Ushguli towards Lentekhi in August 2011 one complete day without seeing a car. The next day he walked more than 10 kilometers, until a polish Jeep picked him up. Bear in mind that the eastern approach up into Svanetiroad leds approx. 45 kilometers through absolute wilderness.
