Tour program:

Morning:

Departure from Tbilisi towards one of the most picturesque corners of Georgia — Dashbashi Canyon, located just 90 kilometers from the capital. This unique natural site in the valley of the Khrami River with volcanic origin conquers with its grandeur and beauty.

Dashbashi Canyon is 8 kilometers of steep slopes covered with dense vegetation, which create a real natural oasis. The main attraction of the canyon is a group of cascading waterfalls. In summer, their waters, shimmering with emerald shades, contrast with the greenery, and in winter the waterfalls turn into frozen ice wonders, creating a fabulous atmosphere.

One of the most exciting moments will be a visit to the suspended glass bridge, which runs at an altitude of 200-300 meters above the canyon. The 240-meter-long bridge ends with a diamond-shaped restaurant with panoramic views of the stunning canyon landscape. This place is sure to give you an unforgettable experience and great photos to remember you by.

Midday:

After a walk through the canyon, we will go to Lake Algeti, located nearby. This quiet and picturesque place is ideal for a short stop and rest, enjoying nature and the water surface.

Day:

Transfer to the Monastery of Shavnabad, located on the top of the mountain of the same name, southeast of Tbilisi. The monastery was founded in the 12th century and at one time was an important center of Christianity in the region. In the 17th century, the temple underwent reconstruction, and two centuries later, an additional church and bell tower were built on the territory of the complex.

Now the monastery is not only a religious center, but also a cultural place. There is a winery, a bakery and an icon painting school. The monastery is also the residence of Catholicos of Georgia Ilia II, a revered spiritual leader in the country.

You can stroll through the monastery complex, enjoy the secluded atmosphere, and learn more about the history of this place.

Evening:

After visiting the monastery, we will return to Tbilisi, where we will finish our eventful and exciting day.
