Getting There
-
Car
If you're driving, start from the town of Ambrolauri, which is well-connected by roads to various parts of Racha-Lechkhumi. From Ambrolauri, take the road towards Sairme. After approximately 20 kilometers, you'll reach the village of Sairme. From here, follow the signs towards the Sairme Pillars. The last part of the journey will require you to park your car in the designated area near the village, as the road becomes less accessible. Prepare for a short hike from the parking area to the pillars.
-
Public Transportation
For those using public transportation, you can take a marshrutka (minibus) from Ambrolauri to Sairme. Buses usually depart from the main bus station in Ambrolauri. The journey takes about 30-40 minutes. Once you reach Sairme, you may have to walk or hitchhike to the base of the Sairme Pillars, as public transport does not go directly to the pillars. Be prepared for a short hike from where you get dropped off to reach the pillars.
-
Hiking
After parking your vehicle or arriving by public transport, you will need to hike to the Sairme Pillars. The path may not be well-marked in some areas, so it's advisable to download a map or ask locals for guidance. The hike is moderate in difficulty, and it can take about 30 minutes to 1 hour to reach the pillars, depending on your fitness level. Wear sturdy shoes and bring water, as the hike can be challenging in some sections.
