Full description
Join us for an unforgettable journey into Georgia's industrial past with our one-day Urbex tour to Chiatura and the Katskhi Pillar from Tbilisi. Your adventure begins in the morning when your driver and guide meet you at your hotel or apartments in Tbilisi.

First, we will visit the awe-inspiring Katskhi Pillar, a breathtaking 40-meter (130 ft) natural limestone monolith that towers over the Karshuna River gorge. At the top of the pillar, you will find a reconstructed 8th-century church and a small monastery where the only inhabitant is a monk named Maxime. He has lived in solitude and silence here for over 25 years, making this an extraordinary spiritual destination.

Next, we will journey to Chiatura, an industrial town founded in the late 1800s, which played a vital role in Georgia's mining industry. The town offers a glimpse into a bygone era with its unique and Soviet-era cable car system still in use by locals. This transport system has over a dozen operating ropeway lines for passengers and two cargo lines for transporting manganese. The total length of the cableway exceeds 6,000 meters.

As we explore the town, you will discover fascinating examples of brutalist architecture and hidden gems of the Soviet past. Chiatura is situated between steep valleys and deep gorges, offering a unique and unforgettable experience for visitors interested in urban exploration and industrial heritage.

At the end of the day, we will drive you back to Tbilisi and drop you off at your hotel or residence.

Mtskheta: Ancient Capital of Georgia Private Half-Day Tour

We went with a group of 3 people on an excursion. We really liked our guide Khatuna, who kindly showed us the city itself and told us its history. We went by the guide's car, which was a special pleasure compared to the bus. We went on a rainy day, but the rain did not spoil the experience, Khatuna kindly offered an umbrella as we did not have enough of our own. The trip seemed very fast because we spent the whole trip talking about everything, joking and having a lot of fun. Khatuna is a very professional guide, I advise you
