The Khinkali Cup kicks off and ends in Tbilisi. From there, you're on your own. No fixed route, just a bunch of insane checkpoints and hidden gems scattered across the Caucasus to guide your chaos. Whether you're drawn to the high passes of Tusheti or the wine valleys of Kakheti, the road - or lack thereof - is yours to conquer.

Like all Chief Cups events, this isn’t a race. It’s a challenge-driven, madness-approved adventure where the glory goes to the bold. You’ll earn points by completing bizarre, brilliant and borderline-stupid challenges, from cooking the perfect khinkali at 3,500m altitude to sharing shots of chacha with shepherds. The team with the most points at the finish line wins eternal bragging rights and The Cup. Full challenge list? Only revealed at the launch event.

For a fee of 3,780 EUR per team, you get:

• A beast of a 4x4 Toyota 4Runner, ready to swallow Georgia’s gnarliest roads complete with third-party insurance and all necessary paperwork.

No, but confidence behind the wheel is key. Georgia’s roads are wild - think mountain switchbacks, rivers, loose gravel. If you’ve never left asphalt before, maybe start with a yoga retreat.

2 to 4 per team. You decide who’s riding shotgun. Bigger teams = more drivers, more chaos. There is a 440 EUR supplement if you are 4.

Yes, gloriously so. This isn’t a package holiday. You’ll be driving a heavy machine through remote areas with little cell service and limited support. That’s the point. Prepare, drive smart, and embrace the unknown.. Accidents do happen, though.

We’ll provide ground tents and basic gear, but it's up to you and your team to choose your spots. Georgia is wild-camp friendly and bursting with epic views. Guesthouses and lodges are also available if you want a break from sleeping under the stars.

Your normal driving license will do!

Yes, Georgia is one of the safest countries in the region. Locals are hospitable, crime is low, and you're more likely to get offered wine than trouble. Still, don’t be dumb.

Absolutely. This is mandatory and must cover driving a rented vehicle in Georgia. We recommend Europ Assistance (~€100 per person). No insurance = no Cup.

Yes, 23 years and above. This adventure calls for a bit of life and driving experience.

No, generally you are good to go as long as you passport has 6+ months of validity left. Nevertheless, requirements may vary depending on your country of origin, so do look into it further.

Roadside assistance will be limited – this is about self-reliance and adventure. In case of a breakdown, we'll do our best to help, but costs for emergency extractions, repairs, or replacement vehicles are on you.

Georgia is super budget-friendly. Expect:

• ~€25/day for food and accommodation.

• ~€10/day for fuel.

• Repairs (if needed) are your responsibility.
  

So, €35/day per person is a good estimate.

Sign up on the website to join the official Khinkali Cup WhatsApp group with all registered participants. We'll share the official contract, waiver, and payment details there soon enough. A valid credit card is mandatory (one per team will do).
