The country has a certain old-world charm to it and people often love its hospitality and warmth in the form of amazing places to visit and very friendly people. Spend some time exploring this gorgeous nation, and we promise, you will be in for a treat.

Places to visit

1. Tbilisi

The capital city of Georgia, Tbilisi is one of the best places to visit in the country. Deem your Georgia tour package incomplete if this isn’t a part of it. Surrounded by mountains and hills, this place has a diverse history and varied architectural marvels. The Old Town part of the city is particularly exciting as it is a fine example of the testaments of history of the city and even the country at large.

2. Mtskheta

The religious capital of Georgia, Mtskheta is spiritual at heart and one of the most peaceful cities in the country. It is also one of the oldest- about 4,000 years- and has in its embrace, three of the most important churches of Georgia. These are Svetitskhoveli, Jvari, and Samtavro Monastery. The Enlightener of Georgia, Saint Nivo lived in this city.

3. Vardzia

A cave monastery in Southern Georgia, this place looks like the movie set of a fun-fiction movie, something like the Lord of the Rings. It was built in the 12th century and was made by King Tamar. She was the first lady to be crowned as the king in Georgian history. It was a secret place until an earthquake hit Georgia and the cave got exposed.

4. Uplistsikhe

In eastern Georgia lies Uplistsikhe, which is an abandoned rock town over 3000 years old. It was found in 1000 BC. The entire structure showcases a town with homes, a pharmacy, and an amphitheater- all of which were connected by tunnels.

5. Katskhi Pillar

A 40-meter high monolith, which is also known as the ‘Pillar of Life,’ the Katskhi Pillar also has a church on top of it. A mystery surrounds the place about how the church was built at such a height since it was only after 1945 that the researchers were first able to climb the pillar.

Best time to visit

Winters (December to March)

This isn’t an ideal time to book a Georgia package. Everything is cold and freezing and the lodges are full because of all the holiday festivities. The temperatures sometimes reach below freezing point causing snow. While it is great if you enjoy winters, but otherwise, it isn’t the best time to visit Georgia.

Summers/ Spring (April to September)

After the harsh winters, things seem to fall into place during the summer and spring season in Georgia. The walking trails start becoming accessible by April and May and the weather starts clearing out. The temperature averages to a moderate 15 degree Celcius and the sky is blue again. June is an excellent time to visit Georgia because it is the interim between the winter rush and the summer madness.

How to reach

While there are no direct flights to Georgia, one can take a stopover flight to Tbilisi from all major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. To ensure your flight is in your budget and friendly to your travel needs, make sure you book Georgia vacation packages in advance.
