2 Day: Tbilisi city-tour
Breakfast
Tbilisi: The history of this amazing city goes back to the V century, when the Georgian king Vakhtang Gorgasali ordered to build a city in the center of a fertile valley that lies snugly between two Caucasian ridges. It comes from the word “Tbilisi” – warm. Modern Tbilisi is one of the safest cities in Europe and is often among the most popular new destinations due to Georgia’s growing tourism industry. Historically, Tbilisi has been home to people of various cultural, ethnic and religious backgrounds, although the vast majority are Eastern Orthodox Christians.

3 Day: Gudauri-Kazbegi-Djuta.
Breakfast
After Breakfast, you will go to Kazbegi (Stepantsminda) – one of the most picturesque cities in Georgia, where you will start the hike to the Gergeti temple, located on a hill at an altitude of 2170 m.
Trinity Church in Gergeti-located at an altitude of 2,170 m at the foot of Kazbek along the Georgian Military road. This temple was built in the XIV century, but almost nothing is known about its history. However, in one of the guides of 1906, it is written that the Church was built on the site of the worship of pagan idols. In the XVIII century, the Gergeti Church became the repository of the main Georgian relics that were transported here during the Persian invasion of Tbilisi
Juta is a village in Mtskheta-Mtianeti district, in the municipality of Kazbegi, in the community of SNO. It is located on the southern slope of the Khevi Kavkasioni ridge, in the valley of the Snostkli river (right tributary of the Tergi). 2200 meters above sea level, 20 km from stepantsmind. I must say that the village itself is famous for the fact that the current Patriarch of Georgia-Iliaii was born here, and in Georgia he is very revered. There is also an old watchtower with a tower and an unusual clearing where huge stones are set-cobblestones, these stones are carved with portraits of famous Georgians, as I understood, mostly famous cultural figures.
Night in Djuta
4 Day: Chaukhi-Abudelauri lakes
Breakfast
In the morning You will trekking to Chaukhi mountain with stunning nature
Abudelauri lake – this extraordinary, magical place in the mountains of Khevsureti. Hidden among the mountain peaks, the lakes are striking in their picturesqueness and crystal clear glacial water. Each lake has its own characteristics. These lakes have a glacial origin – from The abudelauri glacier, from which the mountain river with the same name originates. The lakes are fed by glacial meltwater from this river, as well as rainwater. Abudelauri lakes are also called “colored” lakes. This name is given to them due to the color of the water: Blue, Green and White lakes. The distance between the lakes is 1.5 kilometers.
Night in Roshka
5 Day: Ananuri-Mtskheta-Djvari
Breakfast
Svetitskhoveli is the Cathedral of Mtskheta, one of the symbols of Orthodox Georgia. According to legend, it was here that king Mirian received Holy Baptism. The place for the baptism of king Mirian was not chosen by chance. According to legend, here, in the ground, is hidden the Lord’s Chiton, the one about which the soldiers who crucified Christ cast lots.
Jvari-Georgian monastery and temple of the first half of the VII century. It is located on the top of the mountain at the confluence of the Kura and Aragvi near Mtskheta — where, according to historical sources, the Holy equal-to-the-apostles Nina erected a cross. The first world heritage monument in Georgia (since 1994).
Ananuri fortress is a medieval defensive fortress on the Georgian Military road, located 64 km from Tbilisi. It was built on the picturesque Bank of the Zhinvali reservoir, at the place where the Aragvi river flows into it.. The fortress appeared in the XVI century and for the next two centuries served as the Northern Outpost of the defense of Transcaucasia, blocking the road leading from the Daryalsky gorge

7 Day: Bagrat temple-Gelaty-Motsameta-Prometheus cave
Breakfast
Gelati monastery is a masterpiece of the Golden age of medieval Georgia, characterized by facades of smoothly hewn large blocks, balanced proportions and blind arches for exterior decoration. Gelat monastery, one of the largest medieval Orthodox monasteries, was also a center of science and education, and the Academy where it was located was one of the most important cultural centers of ancient Georgia.
Motsameta monastery is located 6 kilometers from Kutaisi. The modern Church dates back to the 11th century, but historical records show that the Church was built on this site as early as the 8th century. Motsameta attracts crowds of tourists with an ancient superstition: if you crawl under the ark three times and make a wish, touching the shrines, then the wish will come true.
Bagrat temple-the greatest monument of culture and architecture of Georgia, was built in the 10-11 centuries during the time of Bagrat III, the Georgian ruler (975-1014), the progenitor of the Bagration princes. In 1994, the Bagrat temple revival Fund was established in Kutaisi . Today, the temple is included in the list of world-famous historical and cultural monuments of UNESCO.
Prometheus cave-also known as Kumistavi, the largest cave in Georgia, which is located near the town of Tskaltubo. After the discovery of the cave in 1984, it was almost immediately made a tourist attraction. Today Prometheus cave, surrounded by a specially designed natural area with a radius of 3 kilometers, is one of the most attractive places for visitors to Georgia. Visiting the cave provides a unique opportunity to see the underground world of this region in all its glory.
Night in Kutaisi
8 Day: Martvili-Kinchkha-Okace
Breakfast
Martville canyon is a beautiful and unusual creation of nature, located in the West of Georgia. It is pierced by the Abasha river in limestone rock and consists of 2 parts: the upper-we go boating, the lower-we watch waterfalls. In 2016, a large-scale restoration was carried out here, after which it became possible to visit it. According to official data, there are traces of habitation of primitive man and prehistoric animals that lived on earth 73 million years ago, as well as preserved traces of dinosaurs and their fossilized skeletons.
Okatse canyon is one of the most interesting sights of Imereti. it is located 50 km North-West of Kutaisi and 30 km North of Tskaltubo. The peculiarity of the canyon is that human intervention did not spoil the natural attractiveness of the place, but improved it – a 780-meter cantilever bridge runs along one of the walls of the canyon at an altitude of 140 meters.
The Kinchkha waterfall is a natural attraction in Western Georgia. It is located in the canyon of the river Okatse. This place is quite wild and uncivilized, but this is even more attractive and mysterious.
