David Gareja semi-desert monastery
A desert moonscape on the Azerbaijan border, dotted with cave cells from the 6th century.
Full day · ~10 hours
South-east toward the Azerbaijan border. A complete change of scenery — striped sandstone hills, semi-desert, the wide silence of the steppe. We visit Lavra monastery and (when accessible) the painted cells of Udabno along the ridge. A truly unusual day in Georgia.
