Beschrijving
Discover the hidden paths of the Silk Road on a private 4x4 trip from Tbilisi. Explore the Rkoni Monastic Complex, enjoy a picnic by a mountain river, and walk to Queen Tamar’s Bridge.
Take a private journey from Tbilisi to explore the special places in the Tedzami Valley. The trip starts at Ertatsminda Cathedral, built in the 13th century. It's a wonderful example of old Georgian stone carving. This quiet place gets you ready for the rough roads ahead.
After looking around, you'll get into a special 4x4 vehicle to drive through the mountains. You'll drive on old paths that were once a secret, safe route around for the famous Silk Road. In those days, traders and their caravans used these hidden routes to travel safely through the mountains.
During your journey, you'll have a private picnic right next to a beautiful mountain river. You'll get local snacks, fresh coffee or tea, and traditional Georgian sweets. After your break, you'll go for an easy and pretty 3 km walk through a thick forest. This path takes you to the famous "Queen Tamar’s Bridge"—a stunning 12th-century stone arch that's still in great condition.
You'll explore the Rkoni basilica, which is from the 7th century, along with its ancient defensive towers. Your guide will tell you the interesting story of a secret bomb laboratory that was hidden here back in 1905. Before going back to Tbilisi, you'll also get to try some real mountain honey, which bees make from wild forest flowers right here.
