About This Tour

Are you ready for a real adventure? This isn't your typical day trip - this is a trip for those who crave the thrill of discovery and the beauty of the unspoiled. Join us on an exclusive 4x4 expedition through Kakheti, exploring places only accessible by off-road vehicle. Departing from Tbilisi, we dive into the rugged terrain of eastern Georgia, taking you to the surreal, colorful Rainbow Mountains and the tranquil Mravaltskaro reservoir - a hidden paradise away from the crowds. Feel the timeless spirit at the Natlismtsemeli Monastery, where monks live among ancient rock walls, and stand in awe at the legendary David Gareji Monastery, nestled on the semi-desert slopes of Mount Gareji. Halfway we stop for a hearty Georgian lunch at the rustic restaurant in Udabno, a true taste of local hospitality. This is a small group tour with an exclusive itinerary designed for those who want to go beyond the ordinary. Are you with us?
