Getting There
-
Walking
Start your journey from the center of Akhaltsikhe, for example, from the Rabati Fortress. Head south on Tsereteli Street, which is the main road. Continue straight until you reach the intersection with Rustaveli Street, then turn left. Walk along Rustaveli Street until it merges into the main road leading out of the city. Keep walking straight, following the signs towards Adigeni. After approximately 6 kilometers, you will reach the village of Adigeni. From the village center, follow the signs or ask locals for directions to Tchule Monastery, which is located in the Chulevi Valley. The monastery is about 2 kilometers from the village center, so you may need to walk a bit further along a dirt path to reach it.
-
Public Transport
From Akhaltsikhe, head to the bus station located near the city center. Look for a marshrutka (minibus) heading to Adigeni; they frequently leave throughout the day. The ride should take about 20-30 minutes. Once you arrive in Adigeni, you can either walk to the monastery, which is about 2 kilometers away, or ask locals for assistance in finding a taxi or a local bus that can take you closer to Tchule Monastery. Make sure to confirm the drop-off point with the driver, as not all transport may go directly to the monastery.
