Itinerary description

Hike in Trialeti National park. You will find here beautiful mountains, breathtaking canyons and rifts, small streams with cold water(boil before drinking) and ruins of ancient castles and fortresses.
I marked this trail is difficult because some parts of the route is accompanied with dangerous climbs. For example, climbing to Birtvisi fortress and Sheupovari tower. In this hike we only climb Sheupovari tower. But you can just skip climbing activities and spend awesome time being surrounded by canyon.
