Weather & Itinerary Adjustments: Because this tour explores diverse natural zones (from mountain forests to semi-desert steppes), the itinerary is subject to change based on weather conditions. In the event of heavy snow, rain, or impassable mud, your guide reserves the right to adjust the route or substitute stops to ensure your safety and comfort. We will always do our best to provide an equally scenic alternative.
Please note that Martkopi Ghvtaeba and David Gareji are active monasteries, not just museums. During major religious holidays or special services, access to specific interiors, caves, or the main church may be limited by the monks. In such cases, we will explore the extensive exterior grounds and focus on the surrounding nature and history.
The clay paths on the hills can be slippery, even when dry, due to loose soil and gravel.

For your safety and enjoyment, sturdy walking shoes or hiking boots with good grip are essential. We strongly recommend avoiding smooth-soled sneakers or city shoes.
The trails at Martkopi can be muddy, particularly in the spring or after recent rainfall.
As we descend to the Udabno and David Gareji steppes, the climate becomes arid, open, and often warmer. The semi-desert is known for its vast open spaces and occasional strong winds.
Due to the remote nature of this route, local dining venues serve simple traditional cuisine and cannot accommodate strict dietary restrictions (vegan, gluten-free, halal), so we recommend packing suitable personal snacks if required.
Please remember that these are active religious sites, not museums; visitors are expected to respect local traditions by adhering to a modest dress code (covering shoulders and knees) and strictly following your guide's instructions at all times.
The tour involves walking at Martkopi and the hike at David Gareji (uphill).
We begin at higher altitudes in the Martkopi woodland range (approx. 1,100m). Here, the air is crisp and cool; in winter and early spring, you may encounter snow and frost.
This is a private tour/activity. Only your group will participate
