• WALKING TOURS

Tbilisi – Lagodekhi national park – Tbilisi

A trip to the Lagodekhi national park, located near the city of Lagodekhi on the southern slopes of the eastern part of the Caucasian Range in the Alazani river basin. The complex relief formed by the combination of the Caucasus ridges and the wide Alazani valley, a warm, rather mild climate, here, in a relatively small area, determine the growth of a whole gamut of plant communities – from typical subtropics to mountain tundra.

The reserve has many hiking trails of varying difficulty – from the lightest to the most difficult, and all of them will bring great pleasure to tourists. Be sure that you will enjoy those that go along mountain and forest paths just a couple of kilometers and those that walk and ride more than twenty kilometers.
