No restrooms! People having mineral water drinks as a part of treatment. But if you have to go, you got to run and find "fee for use" restroom. Beautiful town, beautiful setting... somewhat not fully functional!

(Translated by Google) We climbed here by cable car, and descended already on foot. We had to stand in line for the cable car. The tickets themselves were bought pretty quickly, but to get into the booth you have to wait, because. cabins do not go often, about one every 10 minutes. Let eight people in. Wonderful views of Pyatigorsk open up from the top of the mountain! Girls offer to take a free photo. Upstairs there is a fountain, benches, they sell soft and strong drinks. Very tasty mulled wine. The return descent took at least an hour, but all the time to go in the shade of tree crowns. But the next day, the calves of the legs were very sore)), because. it is these muscles that are very tense when you go downhill for a long time). But what a unique pine smell and the singing of birds surrounds when you pass through the pines warmed by the sun, growing along the path. Miracle!!

Поднимались сюда по канатной дороге, а спускались уже пешком. В очереди на канатку пришлось постоять. Сами билеты купили довольно быстро, но вот чтобы попасть в кабинку нужно подождать, т.к. кабинки ходят не часто, примерно одна в 10 минут. Пускают человек по восемь. Сверху с горы открываются чудесные виды на Пятигорск! Девочки предлагают сделать бесплатное фото. Наверху есть фонтанчик, скамейки, продают прохладительные и горячительные напитки. Очень вкусный глинтвейн). Обратный спуск занял не меньше часа, но идти все время в тени крон деревьев. Зато на следующий день очень болели икры ног)), т.к. именно эти мышцы очень напрягаются, когда долго идешь сверху вниз, на спуск). Зато какой же неповторимый сосновый запах и пение птиц окружает, когда проходишь через разогретые солнцем сосны, растущие вдоль дорожки. Чудо!!

On the other side of the mountain is the site of Lermontov's duel

The Pyatigorskaya Kanatnaya Doroga is a historic cable car that offers efficient transportation up Mt. Mashuk, where visitors can enjoy panoramic vistas of the surrounding mountains. This antique mode of transport provides swift access to the mountaintop, allowing travelers to take in the sweeping views from above. The cable car itself is a unique attraction, being one of the oldest and most iconic features in Pyatigorsk.
Old School Style Cable Car. The view on the top is priceless. On the clear day Elbrus is visible. The triple head Mt. Besthau is highlight of this peak as well.

Proval is a popular tourist spot located on the side of Mt. Mashuk, featuring a spring-fed pool within a cave that is associated with the fictional swindler Ostap Bender.

A beautiful place to visit. The river, the amazing waterfalls, the whole environment is beautiful and amazing. It's also a great place to pick up some beautifully made local items: scarves, sweaters, gloves, and much more, which helps the local economy. The Kafe U Kurmana is an excellent and fascinating place to eat, built up against the rock wall. We got a couple of skewers of meat and some flatbread things; I forget what they were called. I heard some local people say the food was ordinary and a bit high priced, but we enjoyed it. If you are an American as I am, the US State Department has a "level 4 travel advisory-Do Not Travel" for this area, but I had no problems of any kind, and found the people there friendly and welcoming. My Russian friend and I took a tour bus from Zheleznovodsk to the area. We also visited Nalchik and a hot mineral water pool in the area. If you are in the North Caucasus area I definitely recommend a visit.

The whole impression is spoiled by the children's amusement park, there are 5-6 assorted cabins, like at a construction site, but there is minimal entertainment for children, even from the times of the USSR (it would be better if they installed a standard children's playground).

Inside the monastery, as in many holy places, video and photo shooting is prohibited.
On the territory of the monastery you can drink holy water.
It is only at first glance that it seems that the monastery is located on the road, but this is not the case. To climb to the monastery you need to overcome many steep steps up ☝️. And this is a test 😉
The monastery was on our list of attractions on this route.

(Translated by Google) On a hill, built from natural stone that was carried by hand from the banks of the Fiagdon River, the Fiagdon Monastery looks more like a monumental Byzantine castle than a quiet monastery of monks. Resting in enfilades against the rock, carried away by old watchtowers into the clouds, securely clinging to the domes of the monastery, the monastery is monumental, strict and seemingly impregnable, like a good fortress. Impressive stone walls, heavy forged bars, the huge space of the monastery, its location - everything looks absolutely right. The mountainous setting of the monastery from the huge terrace also seems particularly true; on the opposite slope a huge cross is built into the rock.
Inside the temple is in the woods, because the painting of the walls and ceiling is not yet finished; but rich paintings and carved marble iconostases are already visible. A certain splendor of the place is due to the modernity of the building - space and light
(Original)
На холме, возведенный из природного камня, который вручную носили с берега реки Фиагдон, мужской монастырь Фиагдон больше похож на монументальный византийский замок, чем на тихую обитель монахов. Упираясь анфиладами в скалу, уносясь старыми сторожевыми башнями в облака, надежно зацепляющимися за купола монастыря, монастырь монументален, строг и с виду непреступен, как хорошая крепость. Внушительные каменные стены, кованные тяжелые решетки, огромное пространство монастыря, его расположение – всё выглядит абсолютно правильно. Горное окружение монастыря с огромной террасы также кажется особенно верным; на противоположном склоне в скалу вмонтирован огромный крест.
Внутри храм в лесах, потому как роспись стен и потолка еще не закончены; но уже видны богатая роспись и резные мраморные иконостасы. Некая пышность места обусловлена современностью постройки – простором и светом

(Translated by Google) An interesting place for believers. It’s a bit difficult to climb the steps, but apparently this is intentional. They say that there is an easier, but slightly longer, path around the monastery. We couldn’t get inside: we pulled the door handle, but it was closed (or it was so hard to open). During our visit there were many guests celebrating some kind of holiday.

Интересное место для верующих. Тяжеловато подниматься по ступенькам, но, видимо, так специально задумано. Говорят, что есть более легкий, но немного дольше, путь вокруг монастыря. Внутрь попасть не получилось: дергали за ручку двери, но было закрыто (либо так тяжело открывается). Во время нашего посещения было много гостей, отмечали какой-то праздник.

At 16,581 feet above sea level, Mt Kazbek is an impressive extinct volcano offering hiking and climbing routes. Also known as Mount Kazbegi or Mkinvartsveri in Georgian, it's nicknamed The Bride due to its often fog-shrouded peak. Located on the border of Georgia's Kazbegi District, reaching the mountain takes a two to three-hour drive followed by a walk due to slippery ice.
It's a long trip from the town center but the view is breathtaking it was really worth the visit. It's very windy and the ground is slippery during the winter season so tread carefully.

Der dritthöchste Berg Georgiens hat uns vollkommen in seinen Bann gezogen!! 😍
Wir haben die Wanderung vom Parkplatz der Dreifaltigkeitskirche aus gemacht (ingesamt: 12,5 km - 900 Höhenmeter - 5 Stunden)
Es ist empfehlenswert eine Jacke mitzubringen, da es am Fuße des Kazbel ordentlich windet.
Für den Aufstieg gibt es zwei Optionen. Der Weg teilt sich nach ca. 1,5km.
1. Links entlang wird man den Kazbek eine Zeit lang aus den Augen verlieren, durchwandert ein schönes, geröll-gefülltes Tal und wird dann mit einem wunderbaren Ausblick auf den Kazbek überrascht.
2. Links entlang geht man auf einem mit Wiesen bewachsten Grat und hat beinahe ständig den Kazbek vor sich.

The third highest mountain in Georgia completely captivated us!! 😍
We did the hike from the Trinity Church parking lot (total: 12.5 km - 900 meters in altitude - 5 hours)
It is advisable to bring a jacket as it is quite windy at the foot of the Kazbel.
There are two options for climbing. The path splits after about 1.5km.
1. Along the left you will lose sight of the Kazbek for a while, walk through a beautiful, scree-filled valley and then be surprised with a wonderful view of the Kazbek.
2. To the left you walk on a ridge covered with meadows and the Kazbek is almost always in front of you.
Choose your route 😉

One can hike to Altihut (about 3150m) or even up to the glacier (3300m or so) as a regular hiking. Above that the things become more complicated. Unless you have mountains experience, you'll need special equipment and a guide to make it to the summit. But the views worth that! Nothing comparable to the view from the highest top in Georgia!

No matter how loud the forest might sing, with its chirping birds and roaring rivers, it will rather enhance the gentle whispers of my soul - while the noise of a single person could silence them completely. I don't seek solitude for the sake of being alone, but for diving into the deeper layers of myself - where those guiding voices reside.

Wonderful views and lovely feelings. To be refreshed to forget all your problems to feel happiness this is the place where you should visite atleast once in your life time I have so many beautiful memories there and I loved the tour in Georgia special because of kazbegi and gudauri. I highly recommend this place. Its worthy to spend time in there.

One of the major mountains of the Caucasus located on the border of Georgia's Kazbegi District. Drive to the mountains takes around two to three hours, and most cars dont go all the way near the mountains, as the ice gets very slippery. So probably yu'd have to take a 1m walk. But trust me, its worth it! There's an old Church on the top, with stunning views n lots of snow!

It was one of my favorite places to go and finally I reached the summit on August 12, 2019 with a group of mountaineers from Iran.
It's really amazing. be careful about the Gergeti glacier, it needs technical skills and equipment.
Thank you to Mr. Hassan Javaherpour, Mr. Amihossein Soleimanjah and Ms. Sanam Tizmaghz.
Gergeti Trinity Church, a 14th-century cross-cupola church located in the mountains above Kazbegi in Georgia, is an iconic symbol of the country for its scenic hilltop location with Mt Kazbek towering behind it. The challenging task of constructing the church on such a lofty and remote spot highlights the immense effort involved.
Absolutely breathtaking views, the mountain is amazingly beautiful. So much to see and discover all around. The church stands on top of the mountain and is such a lovely sight. Definitely worth the visit despite being a long trip.

Beautiful Monastery on top of the mountain. We took a taxi from Rooms Hotel in Kazbegi from where we could see this place. Felt surreal to be up there and look at the beautiful valleys around it. The church was very nice and serene as well. A must do trip in your visit to Kazbegi.!

DON'T MISS THIS PLACE. You will see the great Kazbegi Mountain ~5050m in a stunning, majestic view along with Mount Shani from the other side. The feeling is memorable, wait until there is no fog around Kazbegi Mountain to get the best photos. ACCESSIBLE WITH ANY KIND OF CAR, JUST CAREFUL THE ROAD.

One of the shortest hiking in Georgia but the view is just unique. The church itself is historic. You are provided some clothes to be appropriate to enter. You can also take the care road but hiking is highly recommended. It is also good place for camping. The wind can sometimes be strong, so check the forecast until you come camping here.

This church looks so cool when you are hiking towards the Gergeti glacier! I can’t comment on how it’s inside as I haven’t been but from the outside it’s super cool! The road to the church is very easy to drive on. Me and my friend rented a car and drove to it (no need for 4x4). Alternatively you can also hike up from the village. There’s lots of free parking available nearby.

Just wow! For the incredible panoramic views of the caucasian mountains and the history this place holds. A lot of them hikes up to this place, however we drove by ourselves and the route to this place is a decent uphill drive. Parking is for free and so the entry- sit in peace and enjoy the solitude:)

Unsurprisingly, this location is one of the most picturesque in Georgia. You have a couple of options for getting there. One way is by renting a Delica from local drivers, available in the town center in front of the Spar shop. Alternatively, you could choose a light trek: the easiest path starts at the cemetery and stretches about 1.5 km. It's mainly stairs, and it leads you right to the main road at the parking lot in front of the Church. There's also another path accessible from the small tower beneath the hill, although I wouldn't recommend it if the weather is rainy.
You can capture the best shots of the church from the parking lot, though the cars parked outside can sometimes obstruct the view. As for Mkinvartsveri (Mount Kazbegi), it is often covered in clouds. You would need to be quite lucky to get a clear view, with early morning or late evening presenting the best opportunities for a sunrise or sunset experience.
Next to the parking lot, you'll find a free toilet. The church shop is generally open, but there are times when it's closed.
Please note that drone usage is not permitted in the church area.
No photos available inside the church.
Sunday service usually lasts till 1pm maximum.

Beautiful location and definitely a must visit if you're in the area.
Do ignore the signs at the bottom claiming the road can only be accessed by off-road vehicles. I can only speculate some taxi drivers put it up to sell their rides. The road is in a lot better condition than a lot of other roads. You can park for free very close to it. Of course you can also hike there.

During autumn, spring and summer I would like to recommend to hike up through the forest and go down by other trail next to Gergeti Tower. The church is nice and has a breathtaking view to the mountains. It could be a bit windy up there so think about to have a proper clothes. Also this place could be crowded. But if you are staying in Kazbegi for more than one day then I would like definitely to visit this place.

No matter what I say wouldn’t be enough for this majestic church.
Has lots of history overlooking the caucasian mountains. Trip there worth it although it’s far from Tbilisi but really nice.
Some people take the hike up to the church but we went by bus.

One of the best places to visit in Georgia. fantastic view of the church with a mind blowing mountains and Kazbegi city views. In the winter only 4x4 cars can reach there also I don’t recommend to drive to there if you don’t have enough driving experience on the snow and iced roads you can find a lot of local drivers with their 4x4 cars you can rent a tour by 50-70 GEL. Try visiting before the sunset so that you can get great photos of the church with clear mountains and city views. 👌🏼👌🏼

Stepantsminda is just a beautiful place with so much to offer especially if you’re a mountain lover.
We went there on the first week of May and the weather happened to be perfect. We hiked up to Gergeti Trinity Church and the views are extraordinary. There weren’t many people there and if you’re up for it, you can keep hiking from there till the a glacier. The hiking trail to the church may not be the easiest especially if you aren’t much of hiker or haven’t been on too many hikes, but definitely doable and enjoyable for everyone.

We visited the place twice on the same day.. In the morning it was raining and covered with fog. In the evening it was so amazing climate and the wind was getting stronger. We have taken local taxi 4x4 to reach there. First time we chose the offroad path and the trip was memorable. The driver was well experienced and he was taking some adventurous turns. Second time we directly went to the church. Obviously it would have been a disappointing mistake if we would have cancelled the second visit..

Beautiful and historical Georgian church. The views from the church are breathtaking. When I visited I was fortunate enough to be able to see the snow covered top of Mount Kazbek as the I was told that's not always possible. I visited in early September and it was already much cooler in the mountains compared to Tblisi, so dress accordingly.

So happy to be visiting. Beautiful views. Although the day we got here it was cloudy and windy, the area was covered in snow and ice. You can get candles inside by donation. Shame that the Delica service (70 Lari per car) hotel organised for us only incorrectly gave us 30 mins to see this time even though Rooms Kazbegi hotel told us 45mins. Getting through the icy footpath already took 10 mins! The next day we tried to hike up but the snow was too much to make it safe for us to get further. It was doable by other people I know we were just being too careful.
Rhys Travel — Google review
We trekked to the church rather than the drive that most people do. Would totally recommend the trek. It takes you through some really beautiful meadows. However, if you want to go to the glacier, drive would be better to save time. At the church itself there is not much to do or see. It's all about the location. You get some fantastic causcus mountain views from here

Finally visited Gergeti Trinity Church last early March! It snowed a day earlier so we were not sure if we could drive there. We were lucky because the road was open (though we waited for around 30 mins as it was initially closed).
The place was amazing!!! It was white around the area and the Church standing on top a hill was such a nice view. If you wish to light a candle inside, there was a shop down the Church to buy candles but there was also inside for donation.
When we were driving up, I saw a walking trail so would love to come back there again during spring or summer for some hiking!

Located near the city of Stepantsminda, Gergeti Trinity Church is a must visit church if you are in Georgia. There are some monks who serve and live there.
You can hike to the church or go up by a car, but it is recommended to go by a 4x4 if the road is wet as it is very steep.
When we visited, it was too foggy so we didn’t manage to see the views surrounding the church.

Oh wow this place is super unique. I was interested to come to this monastery because it's located in a limestone canyon.

A great place two dozen kilometers from the popular Mtskheta and Jvari. An ancient monastery surrounded by wooded cliffs. Graves and chapels, silence and peace. Very few tourists. A good place where you can meet the sunset (climbing on a rock nearby). Spend money and ask your driver to take you here.
The Funicular Restaurant is a popular tourist destination located on top of Mtatsminda, the last stop on Tbilisi's funicular railway. The restaurant complex features stylish shops, bars and a ballroom, from which you can enjoy a spectacular view of the city and the surrounding area.
The food was really nice and tastey. We initially booked for an outdoor seating but since they expected rain we couldn't get to sit outside. But the ambience inside was really good. The person who served help us move to a desired table and kept checking on us throughout if we needed anything else. They were very polite and friendly. The must have was their desert. Something to die for. It's a must try.
We used the Funicular to arrive at this restaurant and it's a magnificent view and dint realize it's too high above the city. Recommended for a special occasion or date night.

Decent food with a superb view. The overall taste of all the items we had here, as well as their prices are somewhat underwhelming compared to their counterparts found all around the city. However, it is important to note that the view makes up for it in most cases, unless you really are simply looking for the best grub in town. We did enjoy the ponchiki very much though, so definitely add that to your meal as well. It is simple, as simple as it looks on photos, but definitely tasty, a true example to "less is more."

What comes to food, compare this to an amusement park, not to a fine dining restaurant. Wine tasted like the cheapest boxed bulk wine, edibles were okay. Nothing wrong with the bottled water they served. Salad had some slightly mushy parts.
Amazing views, but you don’t need to go inside the restaurant to see them.
You will find much better food and service for 70% of the price if you go somewhere small and local.

I ordered Old Fashioned and I’m sorry to report it wasn’t up to the mark. The berry lemonade was average tasting according to my co-diner. I wanted to check their bar but faced resistance from bouncers for unknown reasons but one of them obliged and wanted to chaperone but anyway. This rating is for the service and the one-of-a-kind panoramic view of Tbilisi from the restaurant’s terrace outshines and eclipses the average food experience of the restaurant itself. Must-visit place and restaurant, and to each his own. Prices are very reasonable. Funicular round trip GEL 20 per person and GEL 2 for the card; vantage points PRICELESS!

If you're looking for a great time, I'd definitely recommend heading over to this place around sunset, which usually happens around 7:40 PM. Trust me, the view alone is worth it.
Now, let's talk about the desserts. You absolutely cannot leave without trying their heavenly honey cake and Ponchiki (Georgian donuts). Seriously, they're to die for. I guarantee you'll be left wanting more.
As for the food, we ordered the veal, kebab sandwich, and pork BBQ, and boy, they did not disappoint. The flavors were on point.
The only downside? We wished the portions were a bit more generous. We could have easily devoured more of those tasty dishes.

Well, I really liked this place so I went three times during my stay in Tbilisi for dinner.
The view, food, drinks, the service was top notch. Only thing during my list some food tasted different than previous two visits and I assume there was a different cook in the kitchen.
We had also live music performance during my last visit, and the restaurant was quite empty. It felt like I had a private concert with delicious food.

6 Khinkali for 19 lari?! Is it a joke? 4 years ago it was an amazing place with great and tasty food, I would often go there with my family and this time when we visited everything was changes the menu and the food was terrible.

Very disappointed I hope they change it again to normal so people can go and enjoy tasty food with normal prices and not pay a price of a Kidney!
Dzveli Tbilisi, or Old Tbilisi, is a large area known for its snaking lanes, traditional Tbilisi houses, and restaurant-lined Jan Shardeni Street. The hilltop Narikala Fortress and giant Mother of Georgia statue overlook the National Botanical Garden and the stone-domed Sulfur Baths. Nearby, the Georgian National Museum traces the country’s history, while Mtatsminda Park is an amusement park accessible by funicular.
The Bridge of Peace is a pedestrian bridge featured in the city of Tbilisi, Georgia. The arching steel and glass design is captivating and catches the eye even from a distance, while the LED lights illuminate evenings with pulsating Morse code messages informing passersby about the elemental composition of human anatomy. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Tbilisi and locals nickname it the Always Ultra Bridge.
The peace bridge is a bridge crossing the Kura and is next to the casino and next to a huge park in which you can take a balloon ride. Nearby is also a gondola (cable car) which you can use to ride into the mountain. The bridge was opened on the 6th of May 2010 and is 150m long.
The bridge has a unique glass construction as a roof which lights up at night. On the bridge there are many artists and also you can be lucky seeing dudes with a peacock which is amazing but they want 20 Lari for a picture with them (they let me hold it for free which was nice!!)
I enjoyed being there a lot and having a great experience crossing. It's very popular and part of the city attractions. And it's one which I can recommend using instead of the other bridge possibilities.

The structure of the bridge is honestly awesome. It’s made of glass and is twisty at the ends and simple yet detailed. I noticed that when I was at a higher level looking down at the bridge, that whenever someone walked on it it looked like they were walking on the water instead.
Nice location right next to the Rike Park and the tramway to the Mother of Georgia and alongside other stuff. Definitely nice views of the mountains and the Mother of Georgia from the bridge too. For sure a good place to visit when coming to Tbilisi because it’s not just for the bridge, it’s also for the park, tramway, and other stuff in that area.

An absolute must-see! The Bridge of Peace is a marvel to behold, whether you choose to visit during the day or at night. Offering panoramic views of the cityscape, it serves as the perfect backdrop for some Instagram-worthy shots. But that's not all! Take the opportunity to enjoy a scenic boat ride that not only gives you a unique perspective of the bridge but also meanders through the lovely park it connects.
We've visited a few times, opting to take a Bolt from our hotel and finishing the journey on foot—a decision we've never regretted. The structural design of the bridge is nothing short of amazing. But it's at night that the bridge truly comes alive. Illuminated by an array of lights, it provides a breath-taking view that complements the city's own nocturnal glow. Truly, the Bridge of Peace is where engineering meets art, and it's an experience you shouldn't miss!

A great spot to add into your walking tour around the historical part of Tbilisi. The early night view from and onto the bridge will be a good background for your vacation pictures. The bridge is a bit narrow, but that wasn't a problem when I attended there. After having enough of it, you can proceed further with spectating the ancient streets with their romantic architecture down in the old town.
Aerial tramway in Tbilisi offers a spectacular view of the Kura River with the Bridge of Peace spanning it. Operated by Tbilisi Cable Car, the tramway is popular with tourists for its views and is fun for people of all ages.
The ticket is not expensive at all. I don't have metro card, but I'm able to buy a card from the cashier. The cable car give a nice view of the city and the old town. It doesn't move to fast or too slow, which is great. One thing i don't like is that there is no officer here, so when the cable car arrive, you have to know timing, get in and get out by yourself.

Really nice short ride to the top to visit Mother of Georgia and the Fortress, plus you can walk down the stairs to the botanical gardens. It’s a few seconds ride up to the top. 6 people max per car and you can buy tickets/card to ride at the entrance.

The cable car experience in Tbilisi was fantastic! For just 5 GEL per person, you can enjoy a round trip that takes you up near the iconic Mother of Georgia statue. The view of Tbilisi City from the top is absolutely breathtaking, earning a round of applause!
While there, be sure to treat yourself to a delicious Chimney cake and browse through the variety of souvenirs available. It's a great way to cherish the memories of your visit.
To make the most of your experience, I recommend visiting before 10 am to avoid the crowds. Additionally, parking space is conveniently available right below the station for a fee of 3 GEL.
Overall, the cable car ride offers not only convenience but also a memorable journey with stunning views. Don't miss out on this must-try experience during your time in Tbilisi!

ムトクワリ川の東岸リケ公園と西岸から急斜面を登った標高450mくらいのナリカラ城塞まで行けるロープウェイ。
ロープウェイからの眺めが良いのはもちろん、ロープウェイで登って歩きで降りると上から見下ろした旧市街のどこを歩いているかわかって旧市街散策のはじめに乗っておくと土地勘がつきやすい。
料金は₾2.5。バスやマルシュルートカ、地下鉄で共用できるメトロカードにチャージしなければいけないがどの交通機関も乗る時に初乗り料金を支払うだけなので、人数分買う必要はなく、1枚のカードを数人で利用できる。
これまで何回となく乗ってきたが先日、人馴れした野良犬をチケット売り場の前でわしゃわしゃとなでていたら
改札口を越えてもついてきて、あげくのはて係員がとめるのも聞かずに自分からキャビンに乗り込んでいく。
間違いなく常習的にリケ公園とナリカラ城塞をロープウェイに無賃乗車して行き来している。
ナリカラ要塞着いてからもマザーオブジョージアまでついてきてフレンドリーな野良犬。これぞトビリシの犬体験。

A ropeway that takes you to Rike Park on the east bank of the Mtkwari River and Narikala Fort, which is about 450m above sea level, up a steep slope from the west bank.
Not only is the view from the ropeway good, but by climbing up the ropeway and walking down, you can see where you are walking in the old town looking down on it from above, making it easier to get a feel for the area if you ride it at the beginning of your walk around the old town.
The price is ₾2.5. You have to charge your Metro Card, which can be shared on buses, marshrutkas, and subways, but you only pay the initial fare when you board any transportation system, so you don't need to buy multiple cards for each person, and you can use one card for multiple people.
I've ridden it many times, but the other day I was petting a tame stray dog in front of the ticket office.
He followed me past the ticket gate, and eventually got into the cabin on his own without even hearing from the staff.
There is no doubt that he habitually travels between Rike Park and Narikala Fort by riding the ropeway for free.
A friendly stray dog that followed Mother of Georgia even after arriving at Narikala Fort. This is the Tbilisi dog experience.

Timelapse Geek — Google review
We took it at night then again during the day.
The views are really nice, you get to see the entire city. It takes you up to the fortress, botanical garden, and mother of Georgia statue.
It costs 2.5 GEL per ride per person; 5 GEL for a roundtrip. They also charge you 2 GEL for the card unless you already have one. Multiple people can use the same card. I would recommend you get the round-trip ticket to avoid waiting twice in line.
It's approximately a 3-4 minute ride to get to the top.
I would recommend you experience it at night as it was more beautiful and waay less crowded.
I'm giving it 4 stars because there's no organization, and they don't separate the lines between those who have tickets and those who want to purchase ones, so it tends to get a bit messy.
In general, this is a nice activity to do if you're in town.

This is just a magnificent cable car way to the unique and beautiful old city of Tbilisi. Under the road, incredible views open up over the Mtkvari river and over this breathtaking old city. Climbing up, you will find magnificent panoramic views of the Tbilisi and you can also visit the Botanical Garden, the entrance to which is paid.

Quick way to get to the fortress and botanical garden. Yet it’s good to know that travel card doesn’t work here which is surprising for me, because it’s said on it, that it works with cable cars.
The Fortress of Narikala is a 4th century fortress that offers breathtaking views of the cityscape below. The trail leading up to the fortress takes visitors past restored churches and other historic remnants.
Amazing paths, views and lots to climb and discover all around the fortress ruins.
You can go up and down easily with the cable cart.
The views from the top are really impressive.

The ruins are absolutely stunning - it’s simply breathtaking to walk around the remains of towers and walls. What’s even more breathtaking is the view - Tbilisi is a beautiful city, and you really get to see that from Nariqala. For anyone in Tbilisi, I strongly recommend a visit at this place
Anton Wimmer — Google review
You can freely roam around and climb the walls, which means some spots need extra caution. If you're feeling adventurous, then it's definitely worth exploring.

Great castle ruins with lots of little unexpected corners to explore. Normally you can continue the walk to the mother of Georgia statue but currently (April 2024) it is unfortunately closed. Also cable car up there doesn't run at the moment. Night time view very cool too...there is wine ice cream to try on the way up and you could have a great castle top picnic with amazing views there too (bring Georgina wine). Best of all the entry is free of charge. Definite must see when in Tbilisi

We took the cable car to the fortress in the late afternoon and experienced beautiful views from up there. It’s free of charge but also a little under developed for tourism purposes, meaning the walls are not protected by guard rails so be careful if traveling with little kids.

Superb place to visit. Excellent location and Georgian architecture. Ancient buildings and outside so many traditional shops are selling Georgian items. We bought a few. Traditional buildings and houses are so good and colorful. The location is good and there is a very large area. Tall buildings constructed by big stones and mud. The church inside was so good and peaceful. We need more than one hour to look around this place. The view point is so good. 40 min drive from Tbilisi.

Narikala Fortress can be accessed by car, cable car or by foot. There are steps and paths leading to the Fortress. You can see the Mother of Georgia statue and botanical garden. The waterfall was closed when I visited. Nothing much to do. Good view of the city and the short ride of the cable car.

Such a fun and magical place ! A beautiful fortress on a large hill that you can walk around and climb different areas. The views of the city are wonderful. You can explore the entire fortress. There is a lovely church, shops and souvenirs. You can hike back down, take a cable car or the more adventurous can zip line down and land in the nearby Botanical Gardens.
Stacey O'Neil — Google review
Probably one of the most beautiful places in Tbilisi. After wandering the streets leading up to it, it offers a dramatic view of the city. What I really liked (though kinda dangerous) is that you can roam freely inside amd on the walls by day and by night. I rrally loved how one can linger as long as they want and just enjoy the view or take great pics. The site is accessible by cable car as well, but I think going on foot adds to its charm if you are a hiker.

Narikala Fortress is truly a historical marvel offering panoramic views of Tbilisi. This ancient stronghold not only provides stunning vistas of the city but also serves as a testament to Georgia's rich past.
Dating back to the 4th century, Narikala Fortress has withstood the test of time and witnessed countless events throughout history. As you wander through its ancient walls, you can feel the weight of centuries of stories and battles.
The fortress is easily accessible by cable car, providing a convenient and scenic journey. While entry is free, it's advisable to visit in the morning to avoid the crowds and fully immerse yourself in the ambiance of this remarkable site.
From Narikala, you can explore further and visit the iconic Mother of Georgia statue, a symbol of Georgian hospitality and strength, as well as the peaceful botanical gardens, adding even more depth to your experience.
Whether you're a history enthusiast, a nature lover, or simply seeking breathtaking views, Narikala Fortress is a must-visit destination in Tbilisi. Don't miss the chance to explore this ancient wonder and soak in the beauty of Georgia's capital from above.

Fortress looks impressive from the city (especially at night, with the lights) but when you come on the hill it appears, that those are mostly walls and ruins. There is a church inside, but it’s not very different from others. There are of course nice views on the city from here. Walking on the walls could be entartaining (But it’s good to know, that they are not well prepared for visitors. For me that was no problem, but there are no safety measures, sometimes you have to even climb to go further, so that could be dangerous and problematic for people with limited movement skills - I can’t imagine it in the late evening, when aerial tramway is still working). It’s good to see fortress if you’re already on the hill, but I recommend more visiting Botanical Garden which is right next to it.
Mateusz Kostrzewski — Google review
Very impressive fortress area with quite a few things to explore such as, the Mother of Georgia, the recently restored St. Nicholas church, a waterfall, a botanical garden, and more. You can occasionally see a couple dogs and maybe 1 or 2 cats too. I’d recommend to go in the mornings or winter time to avoid other tourists as much as possible. Also make sure to wear comfortable shoes.
Definitely come here if you want to quite a good chunk of the city and at night it looks extra spectacular. You can get up to the mountain by the cable car or walk up stairs or uphill from 2 sides. 1 side is right next to the Mother of Georgia. The other side comes up next to the St. Nicholas church.
Also know that when going to Narikala and the area, it is walkable and all but there are still ruins and if you’re not careful you could trip or injure yourself.

**Exploring Narikella Fortress: A Glimpse into Tbilisi's Rich History**
Nestled atop a rocky promontory overlooking the bustling cityscape of Tbilisi, Narikella Fortress stands as a silent sentinel, guarding the secrets of Georgia's storied past. Visiting this ancient stronghold is akin to embarking on a journey through time, where each weathered stone whispers tales of conquests, sieges, and cultural exchanges.
Upon approaching the fortress, visitors are immediately struck by its imposing silhouette against the backdrop of the Caucasus Mountains. The winding path leading to the entrance is lined with vendors selling traditional Georgian handicrafts, providing a tantalizing preview of the vibrant culture awaiting within.
As one steps through the weathered gates, the atmosphere shifts, transporting visitors into a bygone era. The expansive courtyard, once a bustling hub of activity, now echoes with the footsteps of curious explorers. Here, amidst the remnants of ancient structures and crumbling walls, one can't help but feel a profound sense of awe at the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
Ascending the worn stone steps, visitors are treated to panoramic views of Tbilisi's sprawling metropolis below. The juxtaposition of old and new is striking, highlighting the city's evolution over centuries of tumultuous history. From this vantage point, it's easy to imagine the strategic importance of Narikella Fortress, commanding not only the city but also the trade routes that crisscrossed the region.
Exploring the labyrinthine passages and chambers within the fortress is like unraveling a mystery, with each discovery offering new insights into Georgia's past. From the remnants of ancient weaponry to intricate frescoes adorning the walls, every corner holds a piece of the puzzle waiting to be unearthed.
One of the most poignant moments of the visit is standing atop the fortress walls at sunset, as the golden hues of the evening sky cast a warm glow over the landscape. In that fleeting moment, it's possible to glimpse the timeless beauty of Georgia, a land shaped by centuries of triumphs and tribulations.
However, it's essential to acknowledge that Narikella Fortress, like many historical sites, bears the scars of time. While efforts have been made to preserve and restore the fortress, there are areas where the ravages of nature and neglect are evident. Nevertheless, these imperfections only serve to enhance the authenticity of the experience, reminding visitors of the passage of time and the fragility of human endeavor.
In conclusion, a visit to Narikella Fortress is a must for anyone seeking to delve into the rich tapestry of Georgia's history. From its commanding views to its enigmatic ruins, the fortress offers a captivating glimpse into the past that is sure to leave a lasting impression on all who venture within its ancient walls.

If you want to take in all of Tbilisi at a glance, go up to this place. You won’t regret it.
You can see the entirety from any spot, and it’s quite fantastic, but if you go up to where the cross is, you will feel the greatest joy.
Go up, take it all in with your eyes, and take photos.

It's one of worth visiting sites from Georgia's and especially Tbilisi's sightseeings. It's easy to get the on foot. After visiting church that is really beautiful, We climbed up to hills and had panoramic view of Tbilisi's old town. Note to be careful while hiking those hills, because there is no way between hills amd one has to climb literally on rocks. But still I enjoyed that.

One of the top tourist attractions for visitors. Must go. Be there in the day light so you can see the amazing view of the city below you
Alaverdi Monastery, a fortress-style structure dating back to the 11th century, is an impressive site not to be missed. The monastery boasts a towering basilica and features an on-site vineyard for wine production. While the interior showcases beautiful paintings, altars, and incense-filled air, visitors are required to dress modestly. Although the inside may be closed for renovations at times, the surrounding green areas offer a peaceful setting for prayer and reflection.
Incredible fortress-monastery. Parts of the complex date to its 6th century founding by St Joseph of Alaverdi, one of the Thirteen Assyrian Fathers. The cathedral church, dedicated to St George, is an 11th century construction and one of the Four Great Churches of Georgia. It was also the tallest church in Georgia until the completion of Holy Trinity Cathedral in Tbilisi in 2004.

I sorely wanted to visit this monastery as it was one of the few that were still producing wine. I really wanted some holy and blessed wine!
The grounds itself is beautiful and definitely worth walking around.
The insides, which we refrained from taking pictures out of respect, were beautiful. Paintings on the ceiling, altars on every corner and candle stands for you to light and place one (for a blessing i presume), and the incense that wafts through the air.
Sadly we didn't see any wine being made or sold on the grounds itself (not sure what I was actually expecting to see anyways), but across the road there's a wineshop where you can buy the wines made by this monastery the traditional way in a qvevry

In the west of the Alazani Valley is one of the most impressive churches in Georgia: the Cathedral of Alaverdi. At the beginning of the 11th century, Georgia enters its cultural and political goldenage, King Kvirike of Kakhetia had a 50-meter high cathedral built. This classically Georgian-style church will remain the tallest in Georgia for almost a millennium! The church has been beautifully restored, unfortunately many frescoes did not survive the Russian whitewashing campaign from the 19th century. The most memorable frescoes that have survived are the 16th century St. George fresco above the west door and the 11th century Virgin and Child freco high in the apse. Within the walls of the Alaverdi Monastery are the Persian governor's palace (now the bishop's palace) and the Marani vineyard that has been producing wine since 1011. An absolute top destination!

Breathtaking monastery! We got to look at its exterior and walk around the vicinity. However, the inside was closed to visitors as it was being renovated, so we couldn't see the interior. You need to wear modest clothes to enter here, otherwise they will give you a skirt for females and pants for males.
The history of it is very interesting. Make sure to stop by and admire it. Its also not too far away from Tbilisi.

Beautiful Orthodox monastery. Very cozy and peaceful place. For wine lovers it has vineyard with old georgian grapes, in total 104 sorts. Monastery has it’s own wine, and also limited editions. You can buy it in Badagoni shop across the street. Ladies, take something to cover your head and legs. If not, visit gift shop, to lend out one.
This is an excellent place to drive to. The views of the Caucasus mountains are really amazing. The whole drive from Tblisi city to here will take you about two hours.
On the way you will come across beautiful color changing trees as well as people selling fresh honey.
You can spend an hour or two just sitting and relaxing at this place. There are however, no Public restrooms or other facilities so you should come prepared.

Ani is a spectacular site. The landscape is beautiful. The site does require a considerable amount of walking so be prepared with good walking shoes and water. The paths are clearly marked and easy to follow. There are signs at each site explaining the history. The MuzeKart works at this site. There are simple toilet facilities and a little cafe on site as well. You can even see Armenia across the way from the ruins.

One of the largest cities of the period, it is said to have a population of 100 thousand people. It is a very beautiful place, fascinating but there are many missing points. We walked for about 3 hours on average. The temperature of the weather makes the trip a little difficult. I wish there were long descriptions in front of the ruins. There is definitely a need to work on environmental cleaning and organization. Entrance is 100 TL, but you can get a museum card. There is also a discount for students for the museum card, which costs 60 TL per person. The fact that we can use it in other places is also a plus point. You are next to the Arpaçay River, which separates the border between Turkey and Armenia. The flags of the countries are waving on both sides, but of course, nothing compares to the nobility of the Turkish flag...

It is out of the city you should visit there either with a tour shuttle or a vehicle. I have visited it in November it wasn’t that cold, it is better to visit with a tour guide otherwise you may not understand what is what, overall I am not disappointed to visit, some rehabilitations are ongoing I am sure it will be much better within few year but for now you will be able to touch the history, you will need a museum card, for nationals you can use your national museum card, for foreigners it should not be more than 25-30Euros and you can use the card for all around the country

One of the pretty and amazing ruined Ani, i would really suggest to go by own if possible, because i follow the tour, they only allow us to spent 1hr 15mins which is not enough for me. Generally if you going to see everything, i think minimum you may need to spend 2hrs or more, slowly walk through and see each places. This is amazing place that must visit during your Kars trip. The entrance ticket is 160TL. Visit during winter, the sky is grey, if in summer or any good weather with blue sky, so you can take a nice photo with the landscape too.

The Haghpat Monastery Complex is a fine specimen of medieval Armenian architectural style, built in the tenth century. It offers a breathtaking panoramic view and comprises multiple buildings such as a church and bell tower. The Sanahin Monastery nearby is also worth visiting as it shares similarity with Haghpat. Unfortunately, both churches are now empty landmarks rather than functional monasteries.
Without exaggeration one of the most beautiful religious places I have visited. Relatively few tourists, the monastery looks ancient and deserted. I felt like I was in a Tomb Raider or Indiana Jones movie. You can get the best photo of the whole complex if you climb the wall at the back of the grounds.

David Gareji monastery
Orthodox church
Sights & Landmarks
Unique 6th-century monastic complex carved out of a cliff & set against a desert landscape.
I can see why the monastery was built here, peaceful and in the middle of nowhere. Well maintained and still possesses the feeling of peace and tranquility. A great place to meditate or pray or simply soak up the feeling of the place.

This a must to visit in Georgia on the guides, papers and internet.
Unfortunately it was a deception for me: most area was unallowed to visit because monks privacy.
Too long trip for so little to see.
I visited in January. May be in spring or summer would be possible to visiting more places in the monastery.

One of the most astonishing place I've went to in Georgia. The monastery itself is sumptuous and with the surrounding coloured mountains, it's absolutely gorgeous! You'll need your own transportation to get there tho.
Bambino V — Google review
I personally wouldn’t recommend it to people that only have a few days in Georgia, for the distance from Tbilisi it’s not worth it. When you arrive at the site there is no information about it. I imagine the closed part, must be the part that people enjoyed? The striped hills are very pretty. If you live here, it can be a nice day trip if you’re in good company.

Stunning views of spectacular hills. The drive to the monastery is all very accessible roads. No tickets needed to enter the monastery, but be aware that there is not much in the area, so it's recommended to bring drinks and snacks, (and 0,50 for the bathroom). For those who are a little agile, there is a small cave up the hill with an altar, but it's a little climb. The view of the monastery is great from that hill.
(!) You might walk into some military since you're really close to the border, but everyone I walked into was really friendly.
(!) Be aware there are lots of venomous snakes in the area, so watch your step if you go off trail.

The road to David Gareji is stunningly beautiful, admiring such landscapes, you willy-nilly catch flashbacks from memories from Altai and Tajikistan, as well as Tuscany and Scotland. A place where time goes slowly. You don't want to talk at all, you want to breathethere. Definitely a place of power and divine beauty.

✨️A secluded monestary that still houses monks. There is no need for 4x4 completely paved roads. ✨️
A free to enter monestary that is pretty closed off to society. They don't allow you to see much due to the monks living there. So you really only see the grounds and the church. Though the grounds are beautiful.
I'd suggest you take a walking path by the smaller house by the entrance (not the one with the museum shop) and hike a short way up. You get a better view of the monestary.
Though, be careful as you will meet Georgian border guards with guns, but they are friendly. They tell you that you can go a little bit further to the small water structure but must come back immediately.
Its is worth the drive. The surrounding area is nice and might be nicer than the actual church compound.
Dylan Filkins — Google review
Absolutely stunning. Must visit when in Georgia. Entrance and parking is free. There is a dress code when visiting the monastery. Covering knees, shoulders is asked. Nobody's checking but please be respectful.
It's not possible to visit the monastery across the border unfortunately. The ones you can visit are gorgeous.
The views of the landscape are also beautiful!

Amazing views worth to visit look out for tortoises on the road and around parking spot. To the right of monastery there is small building with sign which shows that there is path to hidden place - shrine behind the monastery. There are border guards so don't freak out they should allow you pass.
Damian Augustowski — Google review
Great place relatively close to Tbilisi. An important historical testimony of the past and present of this marvellous country. It is possible to go in and around and up the hill. I would recommend to go by with an English speaking driver who can tell and describe the importance of the place (price for European tourists should not be so high and negociable) There is also a fantastic view over the Rainbow Hills and a shop where to buy beautiful souvenirs made by the monks. It is absolutely worth a visit.

Mount Aragats is a remote and impressive 4-peaked volcano, reaching an elevation of 13,420 feet. The climb to its summit offers an unforgettable adventure that takes you through changing landscapes, from meadows to rocky terrains. At the top, hikers are rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of Armenia's rugged landscapes. This journey is not just physical but also emotional and spiritual, as Mount Aragats symbolizes Armenia's enduring spirit and untamed natural wonder.
My most favourite place In Armenia is Mt. Aragats. Road to reach there is just awesome, so much greenery , and clouds are on you....seriously. You can click hundreds of photos and still not enough. There is a small lake and the views around are just awesome. You would just want to sit and relax.

For awarness: you CAN go hiking/climbing October.. Yes, it will be harder. You will need a GPS downloaded track and shoes with crampons. You will be most likely alone. Defiantly worth it! Go for North Peak and for South Peak as a desert. Ask me questions if you need a sparring partner! Good luck!

One of the most beautiful mountains of this geographic area! Volcanic origin mountain, has 4 summits. The highest one is Northern peak. Not technically difficult, but except summer time and after late autumn, need crampons and one ice axe

Climbing Mount Aragats is an unforgettable adventure that takes you to the rooftop of Armenia. As you ascend through changing landscapes, from fertile plateaus to rocky terrains, the mountain reveals its majestic beauty. At its summit, the reward is beyond words, offering breathtaking panoramic views of Armenia's rugged landscapes. This climb is not just a physical journey; it's an emotional and spiritual one as well. Mount Aragats stands as a symbol of Armenia's enduring spirit and its untamed natural wonder, making the ascent a transformative experience for anyone who embarks on this remarkable journey.

Hiked Southern Peak - 3,888 m (12,756 ft)
It was perfect; lush greenery, magnificently constant lake view while hiking, no crowd thus no noise, and fresh air.
Perfect one-day weekend hike from urbanization.
Please carry your water and food.

This is the north summit or North False, the highest point at the wast side may couldn’t be reached without special gears or support. The highest point is: 4090m
Be careful in the seasons the crater and the summits have more snow and be careful about the weather conditions. The total time of the ascend and come back maybe is about 15h normally.

Beatiful hiking site also for not so touristic people. One star down for unability to reach the place easily (i.e. public transport). There are almost no marks on the hiking trails
Located in a stunning national park, the Haghartsin Monastery Complex is a 10th-century gem that offers tranquility and beauty. Visitors can explore the monastery at their own pace, enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The complex boasts breathtaking views from the hill and nearby attractions like Haghartsin Gata and a hidden waterfall, making it an ideal destination for nature lovers.
Had a beautiful day walking around these beautiful place.First I went to Haghartsin Gata where I had a gata with cheese which I liked but it was cold and didn't seem fresh.There are quite big stray dogs but they are harmless. THE monastery is beautiful and from the hill looks amazing.I than went for a hike and visited the hidden waterfall which is like 20 min walk.There is plenty to see and I wish I had more time but it was getting dark so I headed back to my place.

We walked for around fifteen minutes to our bus, through a forested road where the trees were ablaze with autumn coloure, to this peaceful oasis. The recent restoration work was lavishly done with funds from Sharjah and the buildings looked great. I most liked the refectory, which is built of massive stones and has a superb interior.

Zip Line is WOW !
Jo can go to park from Ijevan by taxi, there is no problem.
Imants Cirulis — Google review
Great place to enjoy the great nature of Ijevan (Tavush region). Extreme activities are well organized and they give enough adrenaline to the participants. The package of Zip-line activities (includes 5 zip-line, rope park and via ferrata) costs 20000 AMD, which is fair and good price also for locals. I enjoyed the park and will suggest everyone to be there at least once.

I was doubting whether the adrenaline rush would be enough and if it would be challenging, but it sure was! Really a great experience and I will surely recommend anyone to try it out! Thank you a lot for the great day!

Amazing experience! We are a family of 3 with a teenager aged 13, took the adventure package: 5 zip lines, via ferrata and rope park. The via ferrata was very difficult for a child (no climbing experience), but under the wise guidance of the guide Artem she managed and was very happy! For adults with no climbing experience it’s fine unless fear of heights. I recommend visiting on weekdays, because on the weekend there are large groups and the wait is long on each spot.
Elena Ermolina — Google review
Totally amused by zip-lines but was unfortunate to go with a Rope Park and Via Ferrata as they were “under maintenance” and no warning of this was given in advance than I was booking a one day full pass. Zip-lines are accessible exactly on each hour, so had to wait for 55 minutes to catch the line although there was no one else besides us.

Yell has everything for everyone. My son went ziplining and his experience was amazing. You can get a helmet with a GoPro (if you don’t have a sports cam with you) and they’ll send you the footages by email in a day. The staff were all very lovely.

Yell Extreme Park was "Extremely" fun. The paintball is very fun in groups, the ball rolling thing was strange but exciting, but my favorite has to be the zip line. Even if you're scared, or have a huge fear of heights, do the zip line. The price is only about 10,000 AMD (≈$20) per person, but its about an hour and a half or so long of nonstop fun. I used to have a huge fear of heights, but then I zip lined and realized how fun it is. Dont hesitate, just go for it!

Absolutely breathtaking views with perfect weather and lots of fun activities such as zip lining, horseback riding, and off-road tours. I only included a couple of photos, but there’s so much more to see.
The Ropeway of Tsaghkadzor's corporate office offers ski equipment rentals at affordable prices and access to long, enjoyable runs via chairlift. Full day, half day, and single tickets are available for purchase. Located only an hour's drive from Yerevan, it's a great destination for snow sports enthusiasts.
Went here last summer and had an amazing experience. The view of Armenia and Teghenis Mountain was spectacular. Just keep in mind though, the chair has no lockable safety bar, so be still🤭

Spent a few days skiing here in mid February and had a great time. Plenty of snow and the runs are long and fun. Ski's and boots can be hired at very reasonable prices for the day. All slopes are via chairlift with full day, half day and single tickets available. Definitely worth a trip if you are in Yerevan and fancy some snow sports as it's only about an hours drive.
Martin Smith — Google review
A great skiing spot 🎿 though we visited the place when there was no snow.
We were able to enjoy the ropeway and enjoyed the breathtaking views from the ropeway and cannot wait to go back again when this is covered in snow.
Just the experience of the ropeway and the views from up top is worth the trip.
Will recommend!!

It is a must-visit if you're in Armenia. For a small entry fee of around 3000 AMD (that's around 8 USD), you get to ride this cable car up the mountainside. The view from up there is something you just have to see for yourself - it's absolutely amazing! I highly recommend taking this trip. It's an experience you won't want to miss!

We really enjoyed this place as it is our first time to be here in Armenia especially we are lucky to see the snow as we visit recently this December 2023.. at a reasonable price of 3000amd that's around 8dollars then you can enjoy the amazing view .you just really need to be quick and be careful as you ride las the cable ride continuously moves.

I had the pleasure of visiting Tsakadsor with my family during our tour of Armenia on August 7th, 2023. Despite it being summer, Tsakadsor offered us a refreshing break from the heat with its cool and pleasant weather.
One of the highlights of our visit was the exhilarating cable car ride that took us to the summit. As we ascended, we were treated to breathtaking views of the lush green forests and vibrant wildflowers below. It felt like a journey into a picturesque wonderland.
While Tsakadsor is renowned for its winter activities, such as skiing, the summer experience was equally enchanting. We spent quality time at the hilltop, basking in the serene beauty that surrounded us. The scenery became even more captivating as we descended back to the bottom station, with every turn revealing new vistas.
I highly recommend Tsakadsor as a must-visit destination, especially if you find yourself in Armenia during the summer. It's an incredible place to escape the heat, enjoy a cable car adventure, and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of this remarkable region. We'll cherish the memories of our Tsakadsor visit for years to come.

First of all after taking tickets you are welcomed by a rude customer executive who says “hurry up and stand in blue line fast”. Then they don’t give any safety instructions. After going a few meters we found that the bar can be pulled for further safety and to keep your legs. But the views were amazing. On top there are activities like buggy ride etc for cash payment. For card they charge commission of 1000 amd but the service was good. Overall good experience in snow
Kecharis Monastery is a historic religious complex that can be traced back to the 11th century. The compound comprises several stone-carved churches and tombstones, making it an intriguing destination for those interested in history and architecture. It's a serene place of worship where visitors can experience inner peace by attending the church services held every week. The monastery is beautifully illuminated at night, adding to its scenic charm.
Kecharis Monastery is a must-see for anyone traveling to Armenia. Its architectural beauty, historical significance, and peaceful atmosphere make it a truly unforgettable experience.
