• Jinvali Water Reservoir - Stop At:

At 9:00am, I will pick you up from your hotel in Tbilisi. We’ll travel along the Georgian Military Highway heading north towards the Russian border. Our first stop will be the Ananuri complex, a former residence of the Argveti Dukes. This complex, featuring churches and towers from the 16th-17th centuries, offers a stunning view of the Jinvali reservoir. We’ll then continue to the meeting point of two small mountain rivers, known for maintaining their distinct colors even after merging. Next, we’ll drive over the Cross Pass and take a short break at the Soviet-era “People’s Friendship” viewpoint, which overlooks a deep gorge in the Caucasus mountain range. In Kazbegi, we’ll proceed to the Gergeti Holy Trinity Church, situated at an altitude of 2170 meters, to enjoy breathtaking views of the Kazbegi glacier. After some walking, we’ll likely be hungry, so we can visit the restaurant at Rooms Hotel, a fantastic spot in Kazbegi. Then, we’ll head back to Tbilisi.
