Overview

Departing from Tbilisi, we dive into the rugged terrain of eastern Georgia, taking you to the surreal, colorful Rainbow Mountains and the tranquil Mravaltskaro reservoir - a hidden paradise away from the crowds.

Feel the timeless spirit at the Natlismtsemeli Monastery, where monks live among ancient rock walls, and stand in awe at the legendary David Gareji Monastery, nestled on the semi-desert slopes of Mount Gareji. Halfway we stop for a hearty Georgian lunch at the rustic restaurant in Udabno, a true taste of local hospitality.

This is a small group tour with an exclusive itinerary designed for those who want to go beyond the ordinary. Are you with us?

Only 25 minutes from Tbilisi, packed full of Soviet architecture, surrounded by abandoned factories, derelict Soviet-era parks, and dusty hills, it's something different. (pass by)

Surrounded by striking, colourful rock formations, this unique landscape will make you feel like you've stepped onto another planet. It's a pristine and unspoilt natural spot with hardly any people around, perfect for those who want to escape the crowds and immerse themselves in raw beauty.

Depending on the season, you may see herons, eagles, falcons, magpies and even some rare animals such as turtles. The area is rich in flora and fauna, making each visit a different experience. Be prepared for a bit of walking to explore all the scenic photo opportunities this area has to offer. With panoramic views and a sense of untouched wilderness, Lake Mravaltskaro is a true hidden gem and a must for photographers, hikers and anyone seeking a connection with nature. Don't forget your camera - this place is full of picture-perfect moments!
  • Natlismtsemeli Monastery
    Nestled in the rugged terrain of Georgia's Kakheti region, the Natlismtsemeli Monastery stands as a testament to the country's rich spiritual heritage. Founded in the 6th century by Father Lucian, a devoted disciple of St David, this active monastery is an integral part of the renowned David Gareja monastic complex. Visitors are invited to explore the numerous cave temples and the central church, which contains ancient frescoes dating from the 12th century. These well-preserved works of art offer a fascinating insight into medieval Georgian art and religious devotion. Today, Natlismtsemeli continues to function as a living monastery, providing a tranquil retreat for those seeking spiritual enrichment amidst its historic and tranquil surroundings.
  • David Gareja Monastery
    Next on our itinerary is the David Gareji Monastery Complex, a sacred and awe-inspiring destination that has held deep spiritual significance for Georgians for centuries. Nestled in the rugged, dramatic landscape of Georgia's southeastern desert, this ancient monastery complex is carved directly into a massive rock formation, creating an unforgettable blend of nature and devotion. As you walk through its cave churches and monastic cells, you'll feel the serene and contemplative atmosphere that has attracted monks and pilgrims for generations. Surrounded by sweeping views of the desert hills, David Gareji offers not only a journey into Georgia's religious history, but also a tranquil escape into one of the country's most scenic and spiritual landscapes. This is truly a place where history, faith and nature come together in perfect harmony.

For those preferring plant-based options, the local restaurants offer a variety of vegetarian dishes, ensuring a delightful culinary experience for everyone.
