Description

Embark on a journey along the Georgian Military Highway. Visit the Ananuri Fortress, see the confluence of the Aragvi rivers, and paraglide over the Caucasus Mountains.
Swap the hustle and bustle of the city for the roar of the mountain wind on this excursion. Travel along one of the most beautiful roads in the world to see the heart of the Caucasus from a bird's-eye view.

Stop at the turquoise Zhinvali Reservoir. Take incredible photos against the backdrop of the water, and then head to the medieval Ananuri Fortress. Learn the secrets of the eristavis (Georgian princes) and see unique stone carvings preserved since the 17th century.

Next, see a unique natural phenomenon in the village of Pasanauri: the meeting of the Black and White Aragvi. The two rivers flow in the same bed, without mixing, reminiscent of yin and yang. Stop for lunch to try the legendary "mountain" khinkali.

Ascend to an altitude of 2,200 meters. The Friendship of Peoples Arch is the best observation deck. Here, have the opportunity to paraglide with an instructor. Experience 10-15 minutes of absolute freedom over snow-capped peaks and deep gorges.

Finally, visit the village of Stepantsminda. In powerful SUVs, ascend to the Gergeti Church of the Holy Trinity (14th century). The church literally floats in the clouds against the backdrop of the five-thousander Kazbek. This is a place of power, where the silence and grandeur of nature will take your breath away.
