Lagodekhi Waterfalls Tour offers you a sliver of paradise in Georgia’s Kakheti Region. Travel from Tbilisi to Lagodekhi National Park, where for two consecutive days you will enjoy long, scenic hikes to the reserve’s most exquisite waterfalls.

Tour itinerary:
At 8 am, our driver and guide will pick you up from your Tbilisi hotel. Drive (160km, 2hrs, 45 min) through the picturesque green hills and vineyards of Kakheti Region to Lagodekhi, a lovely Georgian town located at the gates of a national park of the same name.
Lagodekhi National Park is fantastic for hiking, and upon arrival we will set out on a well-marked trail which winds through a thick forest and along a rapid stream before ending at the 6-meter-high Black Grouse Waterfall.

After the hike, we will head to a cozy family guesthouse to enjoy a lazy evening before experiencing traditional Georgian hospitality over a delectable dinner. Overnight at the guesthouse in Lagodekhi.
Meals: picnic lunch and homecooked dinner
