Keep in mind that the road may be rough, and a 4x4 vehicle is recommended for this stretch.
Public Transportation
Take a minibus or shared taxi from Omalo to Pshaveli. These usually leave from the main square in Omalo, and the fare is around 10 GEL per person. The journey takes about 30 minutes. Once you arrive in Pshaveli, you can either walk (approximately 30 minutes) or hire a local taxi to take you to the waterfall, which should cost around 20-30 GEL.
