Kakheti Travel Guide

Georgia

Walk by Georgian-Azerbaijan boder in David Gareji is great. We've been there at the end of May, as we've been warned it's the most rainy season in this region. There was a rain but it didn't change how epic this place was.

Gareji is a complex of monasteries just on the border of Georgia and Azerbaijan. You'll see many amazing landscapes and also an interesting piece of history. #golden
You can climb on Sighnaghi's city walls and enjoy beautiful views of the Kakheti landscapes.
Davit Gareji or David Garedzha Monastery is located in the Grasslands of Georgia, 2.5 hours South-East of Tbilisi. This place and the surrounding nature are a "different world" and worth visiting. The road via Sagarejo and Udabno has road signs, is easy to find and also good enough for 2-wheel drive. The road via Rustavi (stupidly suggested by Google maps) has no signs, requires GPS and a 4-wheel drive is recommended (we drove that dirt road on the way back to Tbilisi and we did not meet any car for 20 km). A nice young couple is running a small adventurous hotel in Udabno ("Oasis Club", www.oasisclubudabno.com) also offering Horse Riding Tours, etc.
