about the tour
This tour is perfect for anyone looking to soak up the natural beauty of Imereti, try something new, and spend a day packed with adventure and great vibes. The main event is the via ferrata, but we've got other cool spots lined up too—like the Katskhi Pillar and a hidden wild waterfall.
Difficulty: during the tour we walk several short routes. The trail to the small waterfall is very easy with a couple of river crossings.
The trail to the big waterfall is a bit steeper and longer, but still totally manageable.

About the via ferrata: This is a rock section specially equipped with metal rungs for easy climbing and a safety cable system. It’s not technically difficult—it feels like climbing a ladder, but with the thrill of being a real rock climber. Not recommended for those with a serious fear of heights. You can skip the via ferrata if you prefer; in that case, the tour price is 100 GEL lower.
What you'll see on the trail
Tbilisi → Katskhi Pillar → via ferrata → waterfall
Our first stop is a place that looks almost surreal— Katskhi Pillar.
The monastic retreat of hermit Maxime sits atop a narrow 40-meter rock. We’ll hike up a trail to see the pillar from above, getting the absolute best angle.
*Climbing up to the monk's cell itself is not allowed.
From there, we head to the Sveri climbing camp. We’ll grab some tea, get geared up, and head out to tackle the rocky via ferrata — climbing 50 meters up a secured route with safety lines. We'll pass through a cave along the way, and at the top, swings over the cliffs
are waiting for us. Right after the ferrata, we're heading to the waterfall.
*The camp has showers, so you can freshen up after the via ferrata. There's also a kitchen where you can brew coffee, have tea, or heat up your food.
