Most Georgia cost guides give you a per-person figure.
A family of 4 is not one person.
Every child needs their own e-Visa application — that’s ₹3,300 per child, non-refundable.
Since 1 January 2026, every child also needs their own travel insurance policy of at least 30,000 GEL; a single family policy does not satisfy Georgia’s border requirement.
The 2% Tax Collected at Source (TCS) introduced in Union Budget 2026-27 applies to the full package value for every family member from April 1, 2026.
And the 4×4 jeep that gets young children up to Gergeti Trinity Church in Kazbegi is not in the package price — it must be arranged and paid separately.
This is the real cost breakdown for a Georgia family trip from India, built around a family of 4, current as of October 2026.
What A Georgia Family Trip Actually Costs: The Quick Answer
The table below shows Roaming Legs’ starting package prices, plus the verified extra costs a family of 4 realistically adds on top.

The Extra Costs That Hit Families Harder
Visa Fee: ₹3,300 Per Person, Per Child
Georgia has no family visa and no group application.
Each traveller — including every child, regardless of age — needs their own separate e-Visa application on the official e-Visa portal.
The fee is approximately USD 35 per application: a USD 20 consular fee plus a USD 15 DuVerify identity-verification step — roughly ₹3,300 per person at current exchange rates.
The fee is not refunded if the visa is denied or the trip is cancelled.
One family member’s card can pay for multiple applications; the card does not need to be in the traveller’s name.
For a family of 4, that is ~₹13,200 in non-refundable government fees before a single hotel night is booked.
Mandatory Travel Insurance: One Policy Per Person, Not Per Booking
Since 1 January 2026, Georgia requires every tourist to carry health and accident insurance of at least 30,000 GEL covering their full stay.
Georgia Today’s reporting (September 2026) on the first nine months of the rule confirms one of the most common family mistakes: assuming children are covered under a parent’s policy.
They are not.
Each person — including infants — needs a separate insurance policy issued in their own name against their own passport.
What your children’s policies must show:
- The parties to the contract
- The covered territory (must include Georgia)
- The subject of insurance
- The start and end dates (arrival day to departure day)
- The insured risks
- The coverage amount (minimum 30,000 GEL)
- The premium amount and payment terms
Children’s policies typically cost 30–40% less than adult equivalents (Sakhva Travel, 2026).
For a family of 4 on an 8-day trip, international plans meeting the 30,000 GEL threshold start from around USD 153 for the whole family — roughly ₹14,600 at current rates.
Do not buy insurance at Tbilisi Airport.
Policies purchased there typically exclude claims during the first six hours after purchase.
That means a family arriving and buying insurance on landing is uninsured for the first hours of their trip — the exact window when an airport-to-hotel transfer or immediate health issue would be claimed.
Buy policies before you leave India, and ensure they begin on your travel date, not your departure date from Georgia.
If your Indian insurer’s certificate is missing any of the seven required details above, the official e-Visa portal links two Georgian platforms — eInsurance.ge and eCover.ge — as alternatives.
The 2% TCS on Every Family Member’s Package
The Union Budget 2026-27 replaced the previous 5%/20% TCS structure with a flat 2% on overseas tour packages, effective April 1, 2026.
This applies to the full package value — which, for a family of 4, means 2% on each person’s package cost.
On a 7-day package at ₹1,38,000 per person, 2% TCS per person is ₹2,760 — for 4 family members, that is ₹11,040 collected at the time you pay.
It is not an extra tax you lose; it appears in your Form 26AS and can be claimed against your income tax in your annual return.
Ask for TCS as a separate line on your invoice so you can claim it correctly.
Flights: Per Person, All Four of You
Flights are not included in the package price by default.
Round-trip economy fares from India to Tbilisi range from roughly ₹30,000 to ₹65,000 per person depending on your departure city, travel season, and how far in advance you book.
For a family of 4, that is ₹1,20,000 to ₹2,60,000 in flights alone — often the single largest line item outside the package itself.
Check current routes and connection options before you lock in dates: see our guide on how to reach Georgia from India.

What the Kazbegi Leg Actually Costs a Family
The most photographed spot in Georgia — Gergeti Trinity Church above Stepantsminda — sits 5 km and approximately 500 metres of elevation gain above the town.
Children who cannot hike that distance need a pre-arranged 4×4 jeep.
The jeep is not included in the standard package price.
Local operators in Stepantsminda charge approximately 60–70 GEL per person (roughly ₹2,200–₹2,600 per person) for the 4×4 ride to the church.
For a family of 4, that adds approximately ₹8,800–₹10,400 to the Kazbegi day.
There is no guaranteed vehicle waiting when you arrive.
Tell Roaming Legs whether your children need a jeep arrangement and confirm whether it will be booked for you or whether you need to arrange it on arrival.

Where Families Save: Tbilisi’s Free Attractions for Children Under 6
If your family includes children under 6, Tbilisi’s main attractions have genuine cost advantages.
| Attraction | Adult cost | Child under 6 |
|---|---|---|
| Narikala cable car (Rike Park) | 2 GEL per ride | Free |
| Mtatsminda funicular | 6 GEL | Free |
| Tbilisi Zoo | 3 GEL | Free |
| Rike Park | Free | Free |
Mtatsminda Park, accessible by funicular from Rustaveli Avenue, has rides and views over Tbilisi — a solid family afternoon without significant spend.
Older children pay adult rates at most sites; confirm at each venue when you visit.
A Worked Cost Example: 7-Day Family Trip for 4
This worked example is for 2 adults and 2 children on a 7-day trip, twin-sharing.
It uses Roaming Legs’ starting package price and currently-researched figures for extras.
All rupee figures are approximate at October 2026 exchange rates and will move.
| Cost Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Package: 2 adults × ₹1,38,000 | ₹2,76,000 |
| Package: 2 children × ₹1,38,000 | ₹2,76,000 |
| 2% TCS on ₹5,52,000 package total | ₹11,040 |
| Flights: 4 × ₹45,000 (mid estimate) | ₹1,80,000 |
| e-Visa: 4 × ₹3,300 | ₹13,200 |
| Insurance: family of 4 (7-day) | ~₹14,600 |
| Kazbegi 4×4 jeep: 4 × ₹2,400 | ~₹9,600 |
| Estimated total before personal spending | ~₹10,80,440 |
Package price is a starting-point placeholder. Child pricing may differ from adult pricing — ask when you enquire. Flights use a mid-range estimate. Personal spending (shopping, tips, optional activities) is not included.
Your Family’s Cost Planning Order
Getting the spend sequence right prevents avoidable losses.
- Fix your travel month — April–May and September–October have the best weather and the Kazbegi road open. See best time to visit Georgia.
- Check every family member’s passport: valid 3 months beyond the visa’s end date, 2 free pages, issued within the last 10 years.
- Enquire with Roaming Legs for your family’s actual package quote — confirm child pricing and whether the Kazbegi 4×4 jeep is included or an add-on.
- Get studio-quality photos for every family member within 6 months — one photo per child for their own e-Visa application.
- Buy travel insurance for every family member individually before departure — each covering the full stay from arrival to departure date, with all seven required details on the certificate.
- Apply for a separate e-Visa for each family member including children; have email open and a Visa or Mastercard ready (RuPay is not accepted on the portal).
- Book non-refundable flights only after every family member’s e-Visa is approved.
- Confirm the Kazbegi 4×4 jeep arrangement in writing before travel.
- Pack a printed e-Visa, insurance certificate, hotel confirmation, and passport-copy for each family member in your cabin bag.
Mistakes That Cost Indian Families More
- Assuming one travel insurance policy covers the whole family — Georgia’s rule is per person, and each needs a separate certificate
- Buying insurance at Tbilisi Airport — most policies exclude claims in the first six hours after purchase
- Forgetting that 2% TCS applies to each family member’s package cost, not just the lead booker’s
- Not budgeting the Kazbegi 4×4 jeep separately — it is not in the standard package and is necessary for families with young children who cannot hike
- Paying the e-Visa fee with a RuPay-only card — the portal accepts only Visa and Mastercard
- Booking non-refundable flights before every family member’s e-Visa is approved — one rejection means a rebooking cost for the whole party
- Missing the 1-hour email verification window on any family member’s e-Visa application — the application is cancelled and the fee is not refunded
Frequently Asked Questions
What Is the Total Cost of a Georgia Trip for a Family of 4?
A realistic total for 2 adults and 2 children on a 7-day private package, including flights, visa fees, insurance, and the Kazbegi jeep, falls roughly in the ₹10,00,000–₹11,50,000 range.
The package itself, the largest item, uses placeholder starting prices. Your actual quote from Roaming Legs will reflect your family's size, children's ages, and travel dates.
Personal spending is on top of that.
Is the Visa Fee the Same for Children?
Yes. Georgia charges the same USD 35 government e-Visa fee per application regardless of age.
Every child needs their own separate application and fee, even if listed on a parent's passport.
Do Children Need Separate Travel Insurance for Georgia?
Yes.
Georgia's mandatory insurance rule, Decree 602, in force since 1 January 2026, applies per person.
Each child needs their own policy showing at least 30,000 GEL cover, issued in their name, with all seven required details, not as a named dependent on a parent's certificate.
Can I Buy Insurance at Tbilisi Airport?
You can, but it creates a risk.
Policies purchased at the airport typically exclude claims during the first six hours after purchase, meaning your family is uninsured during the arrival transfer.
Buy insurance before you leave India, starting from your arrival date in Georgia.
Does the 2% TCS Apply to Each Child's Package?
Yes.
The 2% TCS, effective April 1, 2026, applies to the total package value collected by the seller.
For a family booking, that is 2% on the sum of all family members' package costs, including children.
Ask for TCS listed as a separate line on your invoice so you can claim it against your income tax.
What Does the 4x4 Jeep to Gergeti Church Cost?
Local operators in Stepantsminda charge approximately 60–70 GEL per person, roughly ₹2,200–₹2,600, for the 4x4 jeep to Gergeti Trinity Church.
For a family of 4 that is approximately ₹8,800–₹10,400.
The jeep must be arranged before you arrive. There is no guaranteed vehicle waiting at the base.
Ask Roaming Legs before travel whether this transfer is included in your itinerary or whether you need to arrange it separately.
Are Children Under 6 Exempt from Any Costs in Georgia?
At most Tbilisi attractions, yes. Children under 6 enter free.
The Narikala cable car, 2 GEL per adult ride, Mtatsminda funicular, 6 GEL per adult, and Tbilisi Zoo, 3 GEL per adult, all admit under-6s at no charge.
However, children under 6 still need their own e-Visa and their own separate travel insurance policy.
The cost savings are on activities, not on entry or insurance.
Does the Package Price Include Flights?
No.
Flights are an optional add-on to the Roaming Legs package.
Round-trip economy fares from India to Tbilisi currently range from approximately ₹30,000 to ₹65,000 per person depending on your city, season, and booking window.
For a family of 4 that adds ₹1,20,000 to ₹2,60,000 to the trip total.
Should We Choose 7 Days or 10 Days for a Family?
The 10-day route is better for families with young children. It includes Borjomi, a flat, walkable town ideal as a rest day, and gives more time at each stop so travel days are less back-to-back.
The 7-day route works if your children are older and handle full days outdoors well, and if available travel time is limited.
See the Georgia family tour packages page for the route comparison.
Does the Package Price Change for Families?
Package prices are per person at the rates shown.
Child pricing may differ. Some operators quote differently for children sharing a room versus requiring their own bed.
Tell Roaming Legs your children's ages when you enquire and get a confirmed per-child quote before you plan your budget around the starting-price figures.
A Georgia family trip is genuinely affordable compared to Western Europe, but the cost is not simply the package price multiplied by 4.
Four visas, four insurance policies, 2% TCS on the full family booking, and the Kazbegi jeep together add ₹50,000–₹70,000 to what the package headline suggests.
Budget for those upfront and the trip total will not surprise you.
