This private day trip from Tbilisi takes you to a different side of Georgia, where colourful Rainbow Mountains meet semi-desert plains and ancient rock-cut sites. As you travel, you’ll move away from typical tourist routes and visit a number of scenic and historic places.

Along the way, you’ll stop for photos at the salt-tinged Kapatadze Lake and explore the Davit Gareja Monastery Complex, a historic ensemble carved into the rock. The route also includes hidden viewpoints and quiet landscapes that reveal the region’s varied geology and local atmosphere. There will be opportunities for light hiking on trails that open out to wide, panoramic views, giving you time to take in the colours and contours of the area. This experience mixes nature, history and a touch of adventure into one cohesive day trip.
