On our hike, we will aim to reach an alpine lake located almost exactly at the bottom of Chaukhi. Time permitting, we will also enjoy a walk to a nearby waterfall. The hike includes crossing the river. In the afternoon, we will return to Tbilisi. Time permitting, we will stop on the way to try traditional Georgian dishes in a local restaurant Pasanuri.
