그레이터 코카서스‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

Normal view on this waterfall available only from Birdwatching tower that is placed further on the route to Oniore waterfall. Here only bottom of the waterfall is visible and also nice place to sit and rest on the hot summer day. For other seasons could be not so comfortable as this part almost all day in shadow and cold wind blow from waterfall.

We started the walk from the village of Mestia and also walked back, although I would recommend taking a bus at least to cover the 4-5 km of road to where the dirt track begins. From the bridge onward, everything is more entertaining and enjoyable.

The entrance fee was 25 Lari with another 20 Lari for optional boat ride (May 2025). The entrance allow u to walk along the walkway to the falls but the 15 mins boat ride takes you to spot inside the canyon not accessible by foot, so it was worth the experience. My suggestion is to visit near mid day when sun is bright and shine from above for good light for photos.

It is worth visiting this site for the view of the glacier. Its access is simple.

Stunning views of the glacier. Access is simple.

In good weather great views in both directions

Mutso towers high above the river and looks truly defensive.

Anyone who arrives here has made it: 3510m, the whole thing is a huge pile of slate and gravel. In some places there is no path anymore because the slate has slipped over it (on both sides).
