Landscapes of the Gareja Desert This is a trip to a completely different Georgia: you will discover the stunning, unlike anything else, the nature of a real stone desert, where there is no water, and the grass turns yellow and becomes dry in the middle of summer. On the way to the monastery, we will stop at such places of the Gareja Desert, where the breathtaking and harsh beauty of the views is breathtaking. You will be able to take photos from the best angles and perhaps get the chance to see wild foxes, jackals and eagles. And in the winter season, herds of sheep grazing in the yellow-red expanses will also fall into the frame.
