Majestic Tskhrajvari Mountain: A Hiker's Paradise

Getting There

• Walking

  From the center of Kutaisi (e.g., from the Colchis Fountain), walk towards the west along Tsereteli Street. Continue straight until you reach the intersection with Kote Marjanishvili Street. 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.

• Public Transport

  Start at the Kutaisi Central Bus Station, which is near the city center. Look for marshrutkas going to Tskhrajvari Mountain. They are usually marked with their destination on the front. 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.

• Biking (if available)

  If you have access to a bike rental in Kutaisi, start from the city center and follow Tsereteli Street heading west. After about 1 kilometer, you will find a road to your left that leads towards Tskhrajvari Mountain. This route is scenic and slightly uphill, taking approximately 20-30 minutes to reach the base of the mountain. Once at the base, you can lock your bike and hike the remaining distance to the peak, which should take about 30 minutes.
