Itinerary:

We will leave Tbilisi in the morning and head to Tana Valley, also known as Ateni Sioni Gorge. On the way, we will stop to visit Uplistsikhe, an ancient rock-hewn settlement built on the bank of the Mtkvari River. From Uplistikshe, we will drive to Ateni Sioni, an early 7th-century church famous for beautiful frescoes.

Finally, we will reach the starting point of our hike. We will follow a narrow path leading through wild meadows and forests. On the way, we will cross a small creek several times. Usually, the water is shallow, but you may still need to remove your shoes. Once we reach Biisi Waterfall, we will have time to relax and take photos. In winter, Biisi is often fully frozen and offers stunning winter views. Return to Tbilisi in the evening. The end of the trip.
