Itinerary

Your adventure begins when a private driver and a tour guide pick you up from your hotel in Tbilisi.

Located just a short drive from Tbilisi, the Zhinvali Water Reservoir is an artificial lake with landscapes of the Caucasus Mountains. Start your day by enjoying views of crystal-clear waters, surrounded by green nature. You will take Instagram-worthy shots of the turquoise reservoir against the backdrop of majestic mountains. Relax and feel the tranquility of this natural beauty.

Discover Ananuri, an ancient fortress on Georgia's Military Road near Tbilisi. It sits between two rivers, Aragvi and Vedzatkhevi, making it a strategic spot. Built in the 16th century, Ananuri was influential in local wars. Today, it's a popular tourist destination with well-preserved buildings. Explore the site to find old roads, bridges, and medieval ruins. Ananuri gives you a fascinating look into Georgia's history.

You can have lunch in a traditional restaurant to try many traditional Georgian dishes.

You will visit the Gudauri Monument, also called Gudauri Panorama, just 120 KM from Tbilisi on the Georgian Military Highway to Russia. Built by the Soviet Union to mark the 200th anniversary of the 1783 Georgievsk Treaty, this monument is a must-see historical site.

After arriving in Kazbegi, we need to change the transport and take a local driver with a 4WD car to take us to Gergeti Trinity Church. Local drivers wait 30 minutes at the church and take us back to our transport.

By 4WD car, we will arrive at the Gergeti Church of the Holy Trinity. Our private guide will assist you to explore the church built by King Giorgi V to establish Christianity in the mountainous Khevi region, Gergeti Monastery became a central place of worship for the locals. It also served as a meeting point for local wise men, discussing community challenges and solutions. Protected by its mountainous location and a defensive wall, Gergeti Church was a secret treasury safeguarded by the dedicated villagers.

After the tour, we will drop you off at your hotel at 20:00.
