Turn left onto Kote Marjanishvili Street and walk for about 500 meters until you see the bus station. From there, take a local marshrutka (minibus) heading towards Tskhrajvari Mountain. The ride will take approximately 20 minutes, and you will get off at the designated stop for Tskhrajvari. Once you get off, follow the signs or the local path leading up the mountain, which should take about 30 minutes of hiking to reach the peak.

Once you board, confirm with the driver that they are heading to Tskhrajvari. The journey takes about 20 minutes. After you arrive, you will likely find a clear path leading up the mountain. Follow this path, which is well-marked and should take you around 30 minutes to walk to the top.
