Overview

Nestled within the expansive Borjomi-Kharagauli National Park in Imereti, Georgia, the Sameskhvareo Shelter (სამეცხვარეოს თავშესაფარი) provides a rudimentary but essential refuge for trekkers venturing into the wilderness. This isolated wooden structure offers a simple escape from the elements, catering specifically to those exploring the park's diverse trails.The shelter itself is quite basic, featuring just four beds within a single insulated wooden building. While modest, it offers a significant advantage to hikers seeking to avoid carrying camping equipment or those caught out by inclement weather. Keep in mind that the water source available may freeze during the night, so plan accordingly.While the immediate vicinity of the shelter is defined by the natural beauty of the national park, the Imereti region brims with attractions.
