Itinerary description
Always affordable route for those who are not afraid of trials and wants fast adventure without leaving Tbilisi 🤪
In one of the photos below, I designated the place from which you can complete the trek quietly and easy, returning to the Turtle lake. Or you can choose the red pill, that is, the arrow, red arrow 😄
You must definitely have a good hiking shoes and clothing that you don`t feel sorry to dye. The further in the gorge, the way will be more difficult. You will have to move from side to side, go through the melting river and dirt, hold onto the branches and rocks. It can be really slippery. Good news is that it`s not a biggest part of the way. Already at the bottom of the gorge will begin a completely passable path.
At the end, if you follow the trek, the dam will appear on your way. You can bypass it right. There the wall does not fit to the rock and there is enough space to crawl. You will have to climb quite a bit up.
Be careful and neat 🙏

Turn to Turtle lake
Follow 🟢 to return to the Turtle lake, nice and easy. Follow 🔴 to get into the gorge. Better to have good hike shoes and you are not afraid to get dirty. If will be slippery, unstable and uneven there.
