Georgia Travel Blog
(September 5-8,2021)
From Armenia , we cross the border towards Georgia . it took us 4 hours to reach there. There were good mountain views on our way, but we were not allowed to take photos as it was prohibited by the government. In the border, there is an immigration office that will check all our things and documents. Luckily , Filipinos on residents Visa in UAE are already announced to enter the country with Evisa. We traveled during Covid , hence they required the Negative PCR test, which we’ve done in Armenia prior to our travel. They also required at least 6 months of stay in UAE before entering their country . In our case, we had our vacation in Philippines December 2020 and back to UAE by January 23,2021. So it’s been 8 months , but they really looked into our stamps of entry and exit in UAE just to make sure. (They really don't trust us though, kidding)
We reached Grand Palace Hotel by 4 in the afternoon . We just rest a bit and unpacked the clothes we need for the following days. Hotel is okay, what’s nice was it was near to Europe square, where there were a lot of restaurants, and tourist spots that we can go to. Plus , the hotel also offer us private hotel driver, for us to pick and drop to anywhere. And just pay the minimum fare. (Lucky us, right?)
Tumblr media
It’s getting dark outside by 5 PM, hence, we decided to grab our dinner and just roam around Europe Square. 
Day 1: Europe Square 
-Metal Tree Artwork
- Peace Bridge 
-Hot Air Balloon - We paid 50 gel each- up there  you will have a 360 view of Tblisi , though it only takes a few minutes, but for a cheaper amount , it was all worth it. You should also try, at least. 
Tumblr media
Day 2: Kazbegi
On our second day , we woke up early since we do have our free breakfast in the hotel. After BF we changed and prepared for our tour . We didn’t know that our tour for today is a high-range or mountain area, hence, it was really cold and we didn’t brought any jackets. Good thing, we stop-by to Zhinvali reservoir wherein there were a lot of souvenir items , including shawls. But it was costly.
We had no choice but to buy one, at some point the linen was still worth it. We also decided to buy some souvenirs before we will forget. 
Note: Book Breakfast in the hotel (it will save you more) and bring jackets on winter !!
-Jinvali Lake 
-Aragvi River
-Ananuri Fortress
-Gudauri View Point - from here , you can opt to try several activities, horseback riding and paragliding. We were suppose to try paragliding , but i forgot my wallet and card in the hotel and I don't have enough cash. (we are really into extreme fun , so we are disappointed that we weren't able to try the same)
Note 2: Never leave your wallet or cards, you’ll never know when you needed it the most 
- Russia Georgia Friendship Monument
We had our sumptuous lunch in  Gudauri, Dushet'Is Raioni, , it was a buffet hence we were able to eat a lot, given we will be travelling back home late. 
Our co-travelers who were fortunate enough to try paragliding took so much of our tour time. So, when we went to Gergeti Trinity Church , we couldn't see anything but Fogs. So even if we want to enjoy, there is really nothing to see up there but the Church only . 
Tumblr media
It was so dark on our way home , Some roads are narrow and wet, so the driver drive slowly. 
We reached hotel by 9 in the evening, so we decided not to have dinner, but instead sleep and rest . 
Day 3: Kakheti and Badiauri - Morning
- Badiauri , we experienced their traditional bread making and tasted their local bread , Puri . it should have been nice if we have coffee . 
- Bodbe Monastery
Tumblr media
- Vineria- we had our lunch here , their food is really great . Superb .
- Vineria kakheti - we also had our wine tasting here, they are generous enough that we were able to taste a lot of wine variety . hence, we decided to buy 6 bottles of wine for us to bring to UAE. You should also try Cha cha . they said its not strong, but for me, it really is . haha
Tumblr media
Day 3: Sighnaghi
-Sighnaghi Village or the city of love - i love it here ,  the place is relaxing , you can opt to walk or ride in an ATV . but we prefer to walk so we can see the beauty of the village , they also have Ziplines.
-Great wall of Georgia - if you started it, you need to finish till the end of the wall . No turning back . So we just did and it’s so worth it.
Tumblr media
We reached hotel by 4 in the afternoon , we rest a bit and in the evening we decided to eat our dinner in Pasanauri restaurant , my friends told us to eat pork in Georgia.It didnt disappoint us , it was really tasty and tender. It is something that we cannot have  in UAE, sadly.
Day 4:  Mtskheta and Old Tblisi
-Jvari Monastery 
-Aragvi and Mtkvari Rivers
-Svetitskhoveli Monastery - it was raining when we reach there , and the monastery was under construction , but still we manage to take some shots and left
Tumblr media
 -Old Tblisi - it was supposedly free on the first day tour, but since we arrived late, so we just did it on the last day , but it was still free, however, we weren't able to try their famous sulfur bath because we will have our flight in the afternoon. But you must try !!
Tumblr media
We went back to hotel by 2, checked out and waited for the bus to pick us. We decided to have our lunch in the airport, and waited for our departure back to UAE . 
Here are our costing:

Gudauri and Friendship Monument For Your Travel
When you are travelling to Georgia, visiting Kazbegi region is a must even if it's  a day tour. Gudauri ski resort is one of the most popular destinations during Kazbegi Day Tour and must be visited for the travelers who love winter resorts and want to experience winter activities with view of Caucasus mountain range in Georgia.
Gudauri  is a ski resort located on the southern slopes of The Greater Caucasus Mountain Range in Georgia. The resort is situated in the Stepantsminda District, along the Georgian Military Highway near the Cross Pass, at an elevation of 2,196 meters (7,200 ft.) above sea level.
Gudauri lies 120 km (75 mi) to the north of the capital Tbilisi. The trip from Tbilisi to Gudauri usually takes two hours by car. The resort offers high quality skiing opportunities.
The slopes of Gudauri are completely above the tree line and are best for free-riders and are generally considered to be  avalanche-safe. The ski season lasts from December to April. 
Nowadays for skiing and snowboarding, there are 54.8 km well-arranged slopes available of all difficulty levels for skiing and snowboarding and the slopes are FIS certified.15 lifts transport the guests.
Resort is popular not only for offering high-quality skiing experience  opportunities. But for various  options to experience activities such as Snowshoeing, Heli-skiing, Paragliding and so on, as well as having one of the top destinations to visit during Colour Tour Georgia’s Kazbegi day tour.
On the way to Kazbegi, Located 3.6 km from Gudauri, Overlooking Devil’s Valley and artificial lake  is the “ Friendship Monument” also known as "Monument of Peace". The forms of the monument belong to prominent Georgian architect George Chakhava.
The monument was built in 1983 by the Soviet Union in Georgia. It is dedicated to the celebration of the 200th anniversary Georgievski Treaty and of Georgia-Russia friendship. The monument is one of the interesting examples of Soviet modernism.
The growing influence of Iran and the Ottomans threatened Georgia's statehood. In this situation, the only solution for King Erekle II of Kartli and Kakheti was to strengthen ties with Russia.
Inside the Friendship monument is a large tile mural that spans the whole circumference of the structure and depicts scenes of Georgian and Russian history and It tells us about "friendly" relationships - from the time the treaty was concluded, to the moment it was built. It’s divided into two parts, on one side of the monument  you see Russian part and on the other Georgian.
From the Friendship monument you continue your day tour to village Stephantsmonda, Kazbegi Mount from where you can experience more mesmerizing views of Caucasus mountain range .

Explore The Best Facts About ‘BiplaceEn Parapente’
Biplace en Parapente is a French term meaning tandem paragliding. Paragliding is a free flight of the aircraft launched on afoot. A tandem paraglider is made for two people — the rider and the passenger. For paragliding tandem flights, the rider is dressed in the harness just in front of an experienced pilot.
Paragliding in tandems is an unforgettable thrill. Wondering you don’t have any experience? By the way, you don't need any such experience before, since one of the accomplished paraglider pilots will help you take your first flight. He will do all the hard work. You have to run away and then sit back and relax and admire stunning views after you've been fitted into your belt. Yeah, don't miss your camera's smile!
Tumblr media
Is ‘BiplaceEn Parapente’ Safe?
In general, paragliding is a very safe game and the rules and regulations are followed. And if you're in a country where driving isn't safe, paragliding is probably more reliable. But you should also note that paragliding is a sport that checks your endurance and sometimes can have severe consequences should you start feeling overconfident and don’t follow some basic rules.
Tumblr media
                                           Biplace en Parapente 
Is There Any Weight Limit?
For paragliding tandems, there is no weight limit as long as the wind is sufficient. However, tandems operate somewhat differently, so passengers are usually restricted to 175 lbs or less.
The Seven Best Sites For Paragliding:
•   Interlaken, Switzerland
•   San Gil, Colombia
•   Oludeniz, Turkey
•   Pokhara, Nepal
•   Valle de Bravo, Mexico
•   CanoaQuebrada, Brazil
•   Gudauri, Georgia
What Are You Up To?
Overall, tandem paragliding is a fun sport that you should at least go for once in your lifetime. Because the fun you get in paragliding is hardly as much as in any other game. It is an adventurous sport. However, you are advised to take some precautions. Follow the instructions and manual given by your instructor so that no untoward incident occurs.

Exploring Georgia in just Two Days!
A quick escape to the birthplace of wine, fantastic mountain scenery and cobblestoned old town.
Being an expat in Middle East, the benefit of having two days off at work is to travel to a nearest tourist destination like Georgia. A quick escape to the birthplace of wine, fantastic mountain scenery and cobblestoned old town.
​As they said, unplanned trip is always the best and this trip is one of them. In just a week to prepare and plan for the itinerary, with the last minute of tour guide recommendation, it is a relief to our transportation as our plan to rent a car is a bit out of budget.
I highly recommend this local tour guide named Irakli which I contacted only by fb messenger. You check his page here for tour rates and other inquiry. I gave him my itinerary and he share his recommendation which I like without any second thought although there are places that I will not be able to visit because that two days tour in Gudauri, Kakheti region and Tbilisi is quite impossible. But to our surprise and with his effort it became possible. You just have to tell your tour guide if you want a relaxed tour or extreme. For us it’s extreme, we are able to do almost everything in the North of Georgia for a day.
THE TOUR:
​​Day 1 in the North:
Jinvali Dam - sightseeing, free entrance
Ananuri Castle - free entrance, castle view of Aragvi River
Pasanauri River – this is where we did the Water Rafting, 250$ for 3 persons and free for our tour guide
Russia-Georgia Friendship Monument - sightseeing, free of charge
Mineral Spring
Gudauri - for paragliding 250$/person
Day 2 Wine Tour:
Wine tour in Kakheti modern wine factory
Vineyards - we just stopped in one of the wineyards on the way.
Sighnaghi Fortress
Sighnaghi Great Wall
Bodbe Monastery
*All of the above tour is free entrance.
​Day 2 extras (which is not in the itinerary but Irakli still wants us to go to the places we planned to visit):
The Bridge of Peace
Rike Park
Cable Car to Narikala Fortress
Leghvtakhevi Waterfall
Walk to Erekle St.
 FOOD
After a long day of tour, our guide take us to one of the best restaurants to try their traditional food. The Salobie restaurant located in old capital of Mtshketa is where we ate the delicious Khinkali and Khachapuri. Great food with low prices. And oh! We tried their locally made brandy, the Chacha. It I was so strong to the point that my friend got drunk in two shots 😊
ACCOMMODATION
Accommodation is cheap, we rented an apartment for $72 for 3 nights for 3 persons and the location is next to Rustaveli Metro where you can have a morning walk in Shota Rustaveli Avenue down to the Bridge of Peace. I suggest that you find a hotel or apartment that has a full room and a separate living room so you can prepare your morning stuff without disturbing your friends while they are still sleeping.
Overall expenses for 3 persons excluding the Air Ticket is 850$.
Is it worth the money and time? YES!

Travel Diaries: Georgia, Day 2 - The mountains in Georgia are insanely gorgeous! 
These initial photos are merely an introduction on the beautiful landscape of Georgia. The mountains are certainly a highlight, but there’s so much more and hopefully I’ll be able to showcase that in this photo series. I travelled almost 3000km around the country, from the capital to the Black Sea and up the mountain regions, then I visited the desert, the vineyards, the caves… And this was me simply scratching the surface. 
I think I’ll publish my photos in triplets, 3 photos per theme: intro (the current triplet), moody, sunset, quirky, etc. Hopefully, this will help everybody appreciate what the country has to offer and will make you book your next holiday here. Georgia has amazing potential, and needs all the (good) tourism it can get. I’ll share more details in my coming blog posts… 
For now, enjoy some flying around… ☺️

Places in Georgia that YOU Must Visit!
Places in Georgia that YOU Must Visit!
Two years ago, I visited Georgia for the first time. I initially wanted to write blogs about the great places that I visited. However, laziness hit me and thus I was only able to write a few.
I recently had the desire to visit Georgia again, and I started checking my photos when I first visited. I was surprised to see that there are a lot of photos that I wasn’t able to post online. That…
