About this activity

Explore two of Georgia's most scenic mountain destinations in a single day, combining spiritual heritage at the striking Green Monastery with natural mineral springs, a historic narrow-gauge railway through pristine gorges, and the alpine charm of Bakuriani. This private full-day excursion showcases the Caucasus' dramatic landscape and Georgian cultural treasures without the crowds of group tours.

Itinerary:
- Green (Mtsvane) Monastery, between the 9th-10th centuries, Green Monastery of St. George is nestled in the beautiful Borjomi valley. The church is constructed from special stones which have a green coloring to them, with some being darker and some lighter.
- Borjomi Central Park, most remarkable virtues of Borjomi are its striking nature and unique mineral waters. One of the best places to experience this is the “Mineral Water Park” of Borjomi.
- Borjomi-Bakuriani railway and a legendary “Kukushka” are in Georgian intangible cultural heritage list. You can see amazing Borjomi Gorge that is beautiful and attractive at any time of the year. You will feel like you are in the magical forest which you could see only in your dreams.
- Bakuriani ski resort is a great place for family holiday, skiing and snowboarding skills, and experiencing Georgian winter. The climate here is mild as Bakuriani is in a transition zone between continental and coastal climate.

Insider tips
