Exploring the Natural Wonders of Truso Travertines

Getting There

• Car

  To reach the Truso travertines natural monument from Gudauri by car, start on the main road (E117) heading north. Drive for approximately 15 kilometers until you reach the village of Ketrisi. Look for signs indicating Truso Valley and turn onto the road leading into the valley. Continue along this road for about 5 kilometers until you reach the parking area near the travertines. Note that the road may be unpaved in some sections, so be cautious.

• Public Transportation

  If you prefer public transportation, you can take a marshrutka (minibus) from Gudauri to the village of Ketrisi. Marshrutkas frequently depart from the central area of Gudauri. The fare is typically around 5 GEL. Once you arrive in Ketrisi, you may need to walk or find a local taxi to take you the remaining 5 kilometers to the Truso travertines. Be prepared for some walking, as local taxis may not always be readily available.

• Hiking

  For the adventurous, you can hike from Ketrisi to the Truso travertines. After arriving in Ketrisi, take the trail that leads into Truso Valley. The hike is approximately 5 kilometers and should take about 1.5 to 2 hours. The path offers stunning views of the surrounding landscapes and is suitable for moderately experienced hikers. Make sure to wear appropriate footwear and carry enough water.
