Excursion to Gori and Borjomi

The tour begins in the interval from 9.00 to 10.00 at your request. We will pick you up at your place of residence in Tbilisi and go to the capital of Shida-Kartli region, Gori, located at the confluence of the Kura and Liakhi rivers in the picturesque Kartli valley. From the south and west the city is surrounded by picturesque mountains. Despite the fact that the city has been known in historical sources since the VI century, it was brought worldwide fame by the name of the “Father of the Peoples” Joseph Dzhugashvili, better known as Stalin, who led the Soviet Empire from 1922 to 1953. By the way, the countrymen of the great dictator respect and respect him in every possible way. Even the main street is still named after him – Stalin Avenue. The main attraction of the town is the House-Museum of Stalin, built in the form of a marble sarcophagus and with a sculpture of Stalin in front of it, one of the few preserved in the world. Everywhere in Gori there are traces of trembling attitude towards his great countryman.

After visiting the museum, we will go to the small town of Borjomi, known for its mineral water. Borjomi is located on the banks of the Kura and its tributaries Borjomula and Gujaretiskali, in a beautiful mountain gorge formed by the evergreen slopes of the Vakhan and Trealeta ranges. In addition to mineral springs, Borjomi is also known for its healing air, saturated with the aroma of coniferous deciduous forests. There we will walk through the park, then with the help of a suspended cable car we will climb a wide plateau overgrown with centuries-old trees. From here opens an unforgettable circular panorama of the mountains, Borjomi gorge and its surroundings. Then by car we will climb even higher to the small church of St. Seraphim of Sarov. Then we will go back to Tbilisi.
