Hulo - secret Ajaria

Walking over the clouds

Hulo district is the highest mountainous region of Adjara. And, despite the fact that the absolute value of the heights of 1000-2200 meters is not amazing, you need to climb to this height from scratch, from the blue Black Sea, and also - the journey will begin with the humid subtropics. You will see the Mahunzeti Falls and the arched bridge of the time of Queen Tamara, and I will tell you about the furry Adjara mountains and plants that grow in the humid subtropics. And about who, how and why built arched medieval bridges across fast mountain rivers.

Further, the road will wind along the gorge of the Adjaristskali River, and our conversation with you will flow from the lush mountain vegetation to the turbulent history of Adjara. We will talk about what is a high-altitude belt, that is, a natural change of natural zones and landscapes in the mountains. How many mountain systems of the world are similar and how they differ. And, passing the picturesque mountain villages, we will talk about the fate of Upper Adjara. About the centuries-old struggle and close intertwining with Muslim culture, about the cost of the Adjarians managed to preserve their culture: music, dance, cuisine. By the way, Adjarian cuisine is not only khachapuri in Adjarian.

We'll take a little walk around the village of Hulo. I will tell you why it can be considered the first capital of Adjara. On the narrow streets we will appreciate the contrast between the relaxed resort Batumi and the strict mountain Hulo. Here even the market square is a balcony hanging over the gorge! And then you will find the most unusual public transport of Adjara - a unique cable car, without a single pole stretched over the gorge. We will climb to the very tiny village of Tago and get another portion of fascinating views.

After descending from the rope - it's lunchtime, I'll offer you a few options to choose from and return to Batumi.
