Getting There
-
Car
If you're traveling by car, start your journey in the city of Rustavi, which is one of the main urban centers in Kvemo Kartli. From Rustavi, take the E60 highway towards Tbilisi. After approximately 10 km, take the exit onto the E117 towards Marneuli. Continue on E117 for about 30 km. As you approach Marneuli, look for signs directing you towards the village of Kachreti. From Kachreti, follow local roads that lead towards Samsari Mountain. The mountain is located roughly 15 km from Kachreti. Make sure to use a GPS or a reliable map since some roads may be unpaved. Parking is available near the base of the mountain.

Public Transportation
If you prefer public transportation, you can take a marshrutka (minibus) from Rustavi to Marneuli. The journey takes about 30-40 minutes and costs around 1 GEL. Once you arrive in Marneuli, you can take another marshrutka to Kachreti. Be sure to confirm with the driver that they are heading to Kachreti as not all marshrutkas have that destination. After reaching Kachreti, you will need to either walk or arrange for a taxi to take you to the base of Samsari Mountain, which is approximately 15 km away. Make sure to negotiate the taxi fare beforehand; it should be around 20-30 GEL.
