About this itinerary

This southern Georgia route combines Dashbashi scenery with the history of Kartli. Shavnabada mountain monastery is also stated in the programme. It suits travellers who want a broader journey rather than a single canyon photo stop.

Prepare for the outdoor part

Check the amount of walking, trail conditions and which entry tickets are included. A canyon visit in the itinerary does not mean the bridge and every additional activity are covered by the tour price.

What awaits you

Shavnabada Mountain Fortress and Monastery Shavnabada Mountain is visible from any point in Tbilisi: a medieval fortress with a monastery rises on its summit. You will explore the grounds, discover stories from the life of St. George and interesting facts about the construction of the complex on the top of an extinct volcano, and learn about the modern significance of the monastery.

Wine and Honey Tasting We will visit a tasting of “Asuretuli Shala” wine, made from some of the most ancient Georgian grape varieties, which was considered extinct in the 19th century. We will tell you who revived it and how. Afterwards, we will taste mountain honey and relax by the lake.

Kartli: The Cradle of Georgian Statehood Next, you will enjoy unforgettable green places that have also preserved traces of almost every stage of human development. While admiring picturesque views, we will talk about the chronicles of ancient Iberia and about Kartli as the centre of the spread of Christianity in Georgia.

Didgori Memorial It is dedicated to the great victory of King David the Builder over the Seljuks in 1121. The monument includes giant steel swords driven into the ground and a central stele. It symbolises courage, unity and the defence of the homeland.

Waterfalls of the Emerald Dashbashi Canyon In 2016, the Dashbashi, or Tsalka, gorge received the status of a Georgian natural monument thanks to its unique ecosystem. Eight kilometres of steep slopes covered in dense vegetation, and waterfalls, will captivate you with their beauty.
