Hiking
From the 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 have to do is cross a footbridge over the water and continue upstream. Expect the journey from Mestia to the glacier to take approximately 3 hours on foot.
