We start our route through dense forest, heading up toward the canyons. The trail isn't tough but it's exciting — stone corridors, cliffs, and ancient ruins.
12:30 PM — Reaching the Birtvisi fortress viewpoint
We'll stop at the top for incredible views of the canyons. Here, we'll learn the history of the fortress and imagine how people lived in these spots over 1,000 years ago.

19:00 — Back to camp and dinner prep
Time to light the fire, cook up a hot dinner, and brew some tea. We'll swap stories, watch the flames, and relax under the stars.
