Day 4

Departure to Racha

There is a famous monastery not far from Kutaisi:

Motsameta. A wooden bridge leads to the building itself, passing along which you can stop and enjoy the beauty of nature, which seems to hide this elegant structure in its very heart. The Motsameta Temple is literally surrounded by greenery of trees that have grown here above the roofs of the monastery buildings. The domeless temple of Motsameta, founded at the beginning of the XI century by Tsar Bagrat III, is also called the Monastery of Saints David and Constantine. Here you can see all the beauty of the green mountains, listen to birdsong, breathe fresh air and just relax your soul.

On the other side of the canyon from the Motsameta Temple we will visit:

Gelati medieval monastery of the Virgin. The center of church and cultural life, the residence of the Catholicos from the second half of the XVI century to 1814, a World Heritage Site. The monastery was founded by King David IV the Builder in 1106 and became his tomb. The Cathedral church was built before 1125 and for another five years it was decorated with mosaics, which are revered as the best in the whole of Transcaucasia. Gelati is beautiful not only from the outside, but also from the inside — it's something extraordinary! Colored and bright frescoes of the 12th century cover the entire interior of the temple.

Next, our way lies to the historical mountainous region of Georgia in the upper reaches of the Rioni—Rachu River. This is one of the most picturesque corners of Georgia, where the Khvanchkara vineyards are located, only the endemic varieties of Alexandrouli and Mujuretuli grapes grow here, from which Stalin's favorite wine was made. It turned out to be impossible to plant these grape varieties in other regions of Georgia, so the real Khvanchkara is made only here. These are very beautiful mountains, composed of limestone, with many caves and interesting rocks.

Nakerala Pass, the height of which is 1218 m. Along the way, you will enjoy the picturesque scenery of deciduous forests and rocky cliffs.

Shaori is an artificial lake in the Shaori basin at an altitude of 1105 m. The slopes of the reservoir are covered with coniferous forests and alpine meadows. The air is intoxicating and intoxicating, it smells of herbs and forest, separately with a needle and separately with a leaf, each bush breathes its own breath, the turquoise of the mirror of the water surface fascinates with the beautiful bottomlessness of the reflected sky. Thanks to the gorge, the lake has its own climate, no matter how hot it is nearby, it is always cool and fresh here.

Day 5

Today our route will pass through the beautiful Nakerala pass, where the peak of the Rachinsky mountain range is located.:

Tskhrajvari (the mountain of the "Nine Crosses"), whose height is 1565 m. The panorama that opens from the lower observation deck is already quite enough for a flurry of emotions, but you can climb higher to the very top. There is a clearly visible path leading to it. At the top of Tskhradjvari are the ruins of an ancient temple, where nine iron crosses are installed. The tenth, most massive, cross is placed at the highest point. A trip to Tskhradjvari can be attributed to the mandatory routes when visiting the Rachinsky region. The views that open from the highlands cannot be described in words. There is always a persistent feeling of nature's victory over civilization.

As we continue our journey, we will visit the mountainous Racha region at an altitude of 1,840 m above sea level, where the village of Mravaldzali is located. Extraordinarily beautiful mountains, the purest springs — the landmark of this place is the medieval temple of Mravaldzali, which is richly decorated with ornaments and bas—reliefs.

Day 7

Okatse Canyon is currently one of the most popular natural attractions in the country. Guests get on a path that will eventually lead them to suspension bridges more than a kilometer long and up to 140 meters high above the cliff, which is approximately 45 floors. The sight is, of course, exciting and in some ways extreme, especially for those who are not a big fan of heights. But before getting to the bridges, tourists pass a 2.2-kilometer-long trail stretching through a picturesque forest, where, in addition to natural beauty, you can explore the ruins of the 18th-century Dadiani Princes' palace.
