• Dashbashi Canyon - Dashbashi Canyon is located several kilometers from the town of Tsalka. It is one of the most stunning yet lesser-known natural landmarks in the country. The canyon’s height ranges from 1100 to 1500 meters, and it stretches for 8 km. The area features numerous waterfalls of various shapes and subterranean water sources. (Unfortunately, some development projects have begun, so we will be able to visit Dashbashi Canyon from a safe distance or walk from the other side to enjoy its beauty up close (it’s safe, of course).

The shallow water makes it easy for birds to find food. During the warm seasons, many migratory birds use this area as a temporary feeding station.

The journey will take travelers to the unique region of Javakheti in Georgia, located in the southern part of the country near the Armenian border. This area is distinct in both climate and landscape, positioned approximately 2,000 meters above sea level on a vast volcanic plateau, topped by the majestic Great Abuli mountain (3,301 m). The expansive plains and grazing fields, with minimal forestation, set it apart from other regions of Georgia, resulting in the coldest and most severe winter climate conditions in the nation. The area is consistently windy and sparsely populated, with little traffic on the local roads, creating a mystical and enchanting atmosphere that transports visitors to a magical realm.

Javakheti’s lakes are ideal for bird watching, especially during the autumn migration season. In some villages, it is common to see large nests of White Storks perched on power poles and rooftops.
