This place has been a battlefield for Georgians so many times that they decided to call the road that is leading to Ananuri – the Georgian Military Road. On the way to Ananuri Fortress, you have to pass by Jinvali water reservoir. Besides the main purpose of this reservoir which is to supply Tbilisi with water, this place keeps many secrets and legends as well. The construction of the reservoir caused big floods in this territory and almost destroyed all the historical monuments. They say that the old church that was built from the time of King Tamari in the 12th century has fallen underwater and when the water level decreases the Church is reappearing. This church is considered to be one of the most mystical places in Georgia.
Ananuri Complex - 10 minutes drive from the Jinvali Water Reservoir we find a fort whose walls, towers, and churches have witnessed the centuries-old history of Georgia. Currently, this castle is a UNESCO Heritage Site and its merging with the beauty of the Aragvi gorge gives this place a flawless charm..
Gudauri Friendship monument also known as Gudauri Panorama or Treaty of Georgyevsk Monument has located 120 km from Tbilisi, on the Georgian Military Highway connecting to Russia. The government of the Soviet Union built this monument in order to celebrate 200 years since the treaty of Georgyevsk was signed in 1783. This panorama is decorated with Soviet Style mosaics depicting Georgian and Russian heroes, farmers, fairy tales, and communist symbols. The monument is very vivid and colorful, however, most of its beauty is thanks to the location. Georgia-Russia Friendship monument is a circular balcony hanging off of a 600-meter cliff with amazing views of the Caucasus Mountains. Not everyone is brave enough to step on the very edge of the balcony, but the memories are sure worth it! Gudauri has also become a popular spot for extreme lovers. If you want to fly over the beautiful mountains this is the right place. You can fly paragliding (not included in the price) and capture video with GoPro, which will remain one of the best memories of your life. Paragliding in Gudauri is great fun!
