Meanwhile, some travellers had positive experiences in Georgia, saying they met friendly locals and didn't face any issues.
One user wrote, "I Had similar experience. 100% accurate information."
"100% felt the same way in Georgia. Beautiful country with terrible locals. I had a terrible experience at a money exchange and also in a few places where they would straight up ignore me for speaking Russian despite understanding me. Crossing the border and going into Chechnya and Dagestan you will meet brothers who absolutely love india and our people. Some of the best hospitality I received in my life just a couple hundred kilometres away. Much rather going back to Chechnya over Georgia," another chimed in.
Sharing a different perspective, one user wrote, "Went to Georgia a few months ago and I absolutely loved it. Love the people they were really, really friendly and helpful. Such a beautiful country."
"We loved it in Georgia. Locals were very helpful and friendly. We sang, eat n enjoyed our 14 days stay in less popular but very beautiful country," another said.
