Journey off the beaten path in the subtropical region of Guria, maneuvering through roads that intertwine with richly forested hills and vales - evocative of Thailand or Sri Lanka. Traverse past walnut and fruit gardens as well as tea estates. Watch free roaming cows and pigs. Small Orthodox churches dots the roadside or stand on hill crests.

Embark on the recently launched Tea Route to discover the rich history and culture of Georgian tea. Experience a taste of genuine Georgian living by visiting ‘Komli’ Farmstay. It boasts a marvelous view of Gomis Mta, the Lesser Caucasus Mountains demarcating Guria and Adjara. Guests have the luxury to tour the modest vineyard, tea and bamboo plantations and indulge in farm-to-table dining with the residing family.

The following day, make your way to Gomi Mountain. This peculiar yet enchanting locale above the clouds, is a famous local summer retreat. The uniquely assembled metal and wood structures dot the horizon above a golden blanket of fragrant azaleas. The place exudes an enchanting aura and is well worth the hour-long journey up the rugged yet striking mountain route.
