From Ancient Mtskheta to Borjomi Springs via Uplistsikhe

Jvari Church - The day begins at one of Georgia’s most breathtaking viewpoints. Jvari is perched high above Mtskheta, where two rivers converge, offering an unforgettable view. It’s a serene, picturesque spot and an ideal introduction to Georgia’s rich history and spirit.

Mtskheta - Following Jvari, the journey continues into Mtskheta itself — Georgia’s ancient capital and one of its most charming towns. With cobblestone streets, inviting cafés, and a wealth of history, it’s a wonderful place to stroll, explore, and truly connect with the essence of the country.

Svetitskhoveli Cathedral - While exploring Mtskheta, the path naturally leads to Svetitskhoveli — the city’s main cathedral and a significant landmark in the country. Visitors can take their time to step inside and soak in the tranquil atmosphere before moving on.

Gori - Around midday, the guide will recommend a local restaurant along the route for those interested in taking a break to savor some traditional Georgian cuisine. Lunch is optional — participants can join or continue exploring at their own pace.

Uplistsikhe Cave Town - The next stop is Uplistsikhe — an ancient city carved into rock long before modern architecture. Visitors can wander through winding tunnels, peek into ancient chambers, and imagine life here centuries ago. It’s a blend of history and adventure, with hilltop views that are truly spectacular.

Borjomi - Arrival in Borjomi marks the end of the day’s journey, where guests will check into their hotel — accommodations are self-booked, allowing for personal preference. After settling in, there’s free time to explore Borjomi National Park. A peaceful walk through the lush greenery, breathing in the fresh mountain air, and tasting the renowned Borjomi mineral water directly from the springs is a must!

Rabati to Vardzia with Javakheti Lakes – Day 2 Adventure

Rabati Castle - Day 2 begins at Rabati Castle — a fortress that combines history with a hidden maze of towers and walls. Visitors can wander through the castle grounds, explore the old churches, and imagine life here in centuries past. With its blend of medieval charm and modern elements, it’s an enjoyable place to explore and capture some memorable photos.

Vardzia - The next destination is Vardzia, a magnificent 12th-century cave monastery carved into the cliffs of Erusheti Mountain. This UNESCO World Heritage site features a labyrinth of caves, churches, and tunnels, offering a captivating journey through history. Although the tour involves navigating some steep, uneven paths and narrow passages, the effort is rewarded with stunning views of the surrounding valleys and Mtkvari River. Vardzia stands as a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of the Georgian people, making it a memorable and awe-inspiring stop.
