The journey
Six nights that put Georgia's two big adventures back to back: white water on the Aragvi, then a tandem paraglider over the Gudauri valley. Before them, Dashbashi Canyon and the glass bridge across it; after them, the 4×4 up to Gergeti Trinity under Mount Kazbek. Tbilisi at both ends, with one day there kept clear for you.
What stands out
- White-water rafting on the Aragvi with an instructor, on the way up the Georgian Military Highway
- Dashbashi Canyon and the Diamond Bridge, the glass bridge across it
- A 4×4 up to Gergeti Trinity Church, then on to Juta village
