My friend and I went on a trip yesterday, and it was amazing! We had a mixed group of Russians and Americans, but it was absolutely comfortable because our guide, Koba Samkharadze, communicated everything in both languages. He’s a very nice, friendly, and patient guide, and I really enjoyed his stories about the country, its history, culture, and heritage. By the way, he’s also a talented artist and drew a few pictures for all of us. Our driver was a true professional; at times, we didn’t even feel like there was no road at all (and I’m not exaggerating). He drove exceptionally well. The car was quite comfortable, with enough room for the five of us. Everything was perfectly timed: we had enough time for bathroom breaks, buying snacks, trekking, and so on. We visited Mravaltskaro Lake, the Rainbow Mountains, Natlismtsemeli Monastery (which had one monk, three cats, and two adorable friendly dogs), and the David Gareji Monastery. We also had lunch in Udabno village and enjoyed a wine tasting at the KTW plant. We took amazing photos at Mravaltskaro Lake and the Rainbow Mountains. Unfortunately, we had a shortened trekking route in the Rainbow Mountains due to rain, but this was not the guide's fault. Natlismtsemeli Monastery is a lovely place with a friendly monk, two incredibly friendly dogs, and three nice cats. You can also see the Georgian-Azerbaijan border from that location. David Gareji Monastery is a beautiful and ancient site with stunning views as well. The lunch in the village could have been better. My friend and I only liked the salad. The tea was barely warm, and I didn’t enjoy the kubdari - a type of pie with meat. There was too little meat inside, and it was too fatty for my taste. Perhaps it was cooked properly; I just didn’t like that dish. The most disappointing dish was the Svanetian stew (I may be mistaken about the name). It consisted of meat with some herbs and almost nothing else. We expected some vegetables but only received one small potato. The meat was awful: very fatty, and we couldn’t even chew it. Moreover, it was quite pricey compared to some places in Tbilisi. The last stop was at the KTW plant, where we tasted various types of wine. I prefer kvevri wine, so I can’t comment on the quality of the plant’s wine. I highly recommend giving this trip a try because it’s worth your money and time!
