Description
Full-Day Excursion · From Tbilisi · Private Transfer
The Gergeti Trinity Church sits at 2,170 metres above sea level, with Mount Kazbek (5,047m) behind it. This is one of the defining images of Georgia — and standing there, you understand why.
The route north from Tbilisi follows the Georgian Military Highway — one of the great mountain roads of the world, cutting through the Caucasus along gorges and past medieval fortresses. The journey is as significant as the destination.
