Additional Information

Translated as the ‘Fortress of the Lord’, Uplistsikhe is a fortress city within a cave, located on a rock massif on the Mtkvari River’s left bank. Established in the first to second millennium B.C., it was a significant cultural, political, and religious hub during the Hellenistic and late Antique periods.
The Joseph Stalin Museum in Gori celebrates the life of Stalin, a native Georgian who served as the Communist Party’s secretary-general during the Second World War and is recognized as a highly influential modern dictator. Highlights of the museum include Stalin’s birthplace - a small hut.
Situated atop a rocky hill overlooking the city of Gori, Gori Fortress is a medieval fortification in Georgia. Archaeological findings suggest that the location was inhabited even in the final centuries BC.
Borjomi, a scenic resort town nestled in south-central Georgia and bordering the Borjomi-Kharagauli National Park, is renowned for its mineral water - Georgia’s top export commodity.

Must do day trip. - The trip was amazing, we visited different areas, we went to Gori city and saw the magnificent view of the two rivers, then we went to the caves and the last stop was Borjomi, where we took the electric car and went inside the forest, the views were breathtaking and magnificent. I want to thank Giorgi our tour guide who was very informative and patient with us and took sn amazing pictures for us.
