  • Martkopi Monastery
    Located deep within the Tbilisi National Park, this 6th-century monastery offers profound silence and isolation. Far from the busy tourist trails, it sits atop a wooded ridge. Here, we offer an optional hike through the ancient forest for those who wish to fully immerse themselves in the biodiversity of the region. It is a perfect spot for meditation and nature photography.
  • Open location in Google Maps
    As we approach the semi-desert, we arrive at the settlement of Udabno. Here, you will witness a startling contrast: vast, lush almond orchards growing in the middle of the arid steppe. We can take a walk along the rows of trees, which offer a "green oasis" effect against the dry horizon. In early spring, these trees are covered in beautiful pink and white blossoms; in summer and autumn, they stand as vivid green lines in the yellow landscape. It is a unique photographic opportunity and a chance to see local life in this remote region.

    Located on the route between the forests and the semi-desert, this saline lake provides a scenic pause in our journey. The landscape here is calm and open, offering excellent opportunities for photography. Depending on the season, you may see reflections of the sky on the water or the textured white salt crust of the shore. It is a quiet natural site that adds another layer of geological diversity to your experience.
  • David Gareja Monastery
    One of Georgia's most significant historical sites, located on the semi-desert slopes bordering Azerbaijan. We visit the Lavra monastery to appreciate the unique architecture carved into the rock face and the rugged beauty of the surrounding badlands.
  • Open location in Google Maps
    A geological wonder hidden in the semi-desert. These multi-colored hills (striations of red, yellow, and mineral green) provide a surreal, "Mars-like" landscape. We take a walk here to enjoy the views and the absolute quiet of the steppe.
  • Sagarejo
    On the way back, we can stop at a private family wine cellar in this region. Here, you can taste organic natural wines made in traditional Qvevri clay jars, accompanied by Georgian cheese and warm hospitality.

  • Public transportation options are available nearby
  • Not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health
  • Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness
  • Weather & Itinerary Adjustments: Because this tour explores diverse natural zones (from mountain forests to semi-desert steppes), the itinerary is subject to change based on weather conditions. In the event of heavy snow, rain, or impassable mud, your guide reserves the right to adjust the route or substitute stops to ensure your safety and comfort. We will always do our best to provide an equally scenic alternative.
  • Please note that Martkopi Ghvtaeba and David Gareji are active monasteries, not just museums. During major religious holidays or special services, access to specific interiors, caves, or the main church may be limited by the monks. In such cases, we will explore the extensive exterior grounds and focus on the surrounding nature and history.
  • The clay paths on the hills can be slippery, even when dry, due to loose soil and gravel.
  • For your safety and enjoyment, sturdy walking shoes or hiking boots with good grip are essential. We strongly recommend avoiding smooth-soled sneakers or city shoes.
  • The trails at Martkopi can be muddy, particularly in the spring or after recent rainfall.
  • As we descend to the Udabno and David Gareji steppes, the climate becomes arid, open, and often warmer. The semi-desert is known for its vast open spaces and occasional strong winds.
  • Due to the remote nature of this route, local dining venues serve simple traditional cuisine and cannot accommodate strict dietary restrictions (vegan, gluten-free, halal), so we recommend packing suitable personal snacks if required.
  • Please remember that these are active religious sites, not museums; visitors are expected to respect local traditions by adhering to a modest dress code (covering shoulders and knees) and strictly following your guide's instructions at all times.
  • The tour involves walking at Martkopi and the hike at David Gareji (uphill).
  • We begin at higher altitudes in the Martkopi woodland range (approx. 1,100m). Here, the air is crisp and cool; in winter and early spring, you may encounter snow and frost.

  • For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
