  1. Reasons You should Visit Lagodekhi

  2. Connect with Nature Lagodekhi National Park is the perfect place to connect with nature. It’s untouched forest is one of the most unique of its kind. It is located in the north-eastern edge of the Kakheti Region on the southern slopes of the Caucasus Mountains bordering Azerbaijan and Dagastan (RF). The protected areas were founded in 1912 and are home to over 1200 animal and plant species. Over 80% of its 24,000 hectares are categorized as Strict Nature Reserve, which is the highest category for Protected Areas.

  3. Visit the Ancient Machi Fortress Lagodekhi and Kakheti’s most historical trail that will lead you through moss-covered Oriental hornbeam woods to the ruins of Machi Fortress. The massive fortress was built over 1300 years ago and stood intact until the 17th century. The fortress had been used as a summer residence for many Kakhetian Kings. Though lacking its original beauty today, you can still find its remains hidden deep in the forest near Azerbaijani border. Distance: 10,5 km, Hiking time: 4-5 h, Horseback riding time: 3 h; Difficulty: low-medium

  4. Be on top of the world at Black Rock Lake This is Lagodekhi’s most adventurous and adverse hike. It takes a minimum of three days and is one of the most beautiful hikes in Georgia. It will take you up to 3000m and offer you incredible views of the Caucasian Mountain Range and the Black Rock Lake. At each Meteo cabin, you can sleep in your tent or in self-catering huts. You must bring your own sleeping bag, passport and enough food for 3 days!

  5. Hop on a Horse and Enjoy the Ride Horseback riding is a great way to be able to take in the surroundings of the Lagodekhi National Park without needing to walk too much. All of the above hikes can be done by horseback, but vary in prices. Additionally, from the Khiza village, you can take a shorter horseback riding experience through what the locals have named the “Valley of Horses”. It is located between two mountain slopes of the protected areas in the valley, heading in the direction of the trailhead for the Ninoshevi Waterfall. This area is unique, as it somehow feels like it shouldn’t be where it is the way that it is. It’s very pretty.

  6. Join the Locals and Make Something Tasty Learn to make an authentic Georgian meal or treat, alongside a local host in their private home. Whether you want to learn how to make wine, harvest honey, dive into a hot tone to place fresh bread to bake, dip strings of nuts into a gooy grape mix, or get involved in creating homemade Georgian food – this is a great way to support rural tourism and development in the Lagodekhi region.
