Georgia weekend horseback rally, 3 days in the saddle. Georgian desert, rainbow mountains, ancient cave complex of St. John the Baptist Monastery

Day 1 - Arrival in Georgia, getting to know the horses
You will be picked up from Tbilisi airport. Upon arrival in the morning, there will be time to relax at the hotel and have breakfast. We will provide you with an overnight stay already from the previous day, so that you do not have to wait for check in upon arrival. If you arrive in Kutaisi we can organise a transfer to Tbilisi for you. At around 11am we will set off on our first horseback adventure. We will ride for about 45 minutes, to the starting point of our horseback rally. We start the tour at our base in the village of Lemshveniera, which can be translated as beautiful. On site you will meet our local horse guide Mose and our horses. We will assign a mount for each of you. On horseback you will get to know the village and its history. We will take you to the hill where there is a stone tower like in the High Caucasus, and you will find out why it was built here! We will climb to the very top of the tower, from where we will admire the impressive panorama. We will arrive at Lake Jandari located on the border of Georgia and Azerbaijan. We will spend about 2-3 hours in the saddle.

In the evening we will return to Tbilisi and show you the old town, its unique architecture. We will spend the evening integrating in an atmospheric restaurant, tasting delicious Georgian cuisine. 

Day 2 - Rainbow Mountains

On the second day inWe will travel on horseback to the rainbow mountains and a picturesque lake. These places are called the Georgian Mars or Peru! On horseback we travel about 25 km round trip. The trail leads through Georgian steppes, dirt roads. We ride at a brisk pace. We have ideal stretches for fast gallops. The rainbow mountains shimmer in carmine yellow and beige. Their reflection on the crystal clear surface of the water enhances their effect! You will feel like you are on another planet! We will ride on horseback to a lookout point from where you will admire these cosmic views in 360 degrees! You have to see it with your own eyes! At the lake there will be a pop and rest for the horses and a picnic with regional Georgian delicacies. After a rest we will set off on the return journey. Horseback riding, galloping through the Georgian desert with its endless horizons, is an unforgettable feeling of freedom in the saddle. It is every rider's dream, which together with our irreplaceable horses we can fulfil for you.

In the evening we will return to our hotel in Tbilisi to change and freshen up before dinner. After an hour or so, we'll take you to an iconic restaurant, where another serving of Georgian cuisine awaits!

On Saturday and Sunday, eager visitors are invited to take a walk around the city and extend the evening on the terrace of our hotel. For talks about Georgian horses and Georgian wine overlooking the beautifully lit city.

• Length of route: approx. 25 km
• Number of hours in the saddle: about 5 - 6 hours
• Overhills: Only at the Rainbow Mountains themselves

Day 3 - On horseback to Natlismtsemeli, the ancient cave complex of the Monastery of St. John the Baptist

On this day we will set off on horseback to Georgian Jordan! To the mystical monastery in the rock of St John the Baptist, which is a fascinating story of Georgia's deep Christian heritage. Its origins date back to the 6th century. Over time, its walls have witnessed countless invasions. From the Turks, to the Persians, to the Mongols. To this day, monks still live in these harsh conditions. On horseback, we travel about 35 km in both directions. The trail leads through vast clearings, steppes and dirt roads. We have good galloping sections along the route. On horseback we arrive at the monastery itself galloping through the canyons and mountains of the desert. Like a frame from a western movie, we will leave our horses in front of the main gate of the complex to rest. And we will explore on foot the interior of the rock-cut church, the ancient grottoes, the monks' rooms and the tower. There will be a break near the monastery for the horses to rest and a picnic with regional Georgian delicacies. After a rest, we will set off on our return journey. We will say goodbye to our horses and drive back to Tbilisi.

We will have a farewell dinner at the restaurant and spend a pleasant evening. You will experience an authentic Georgian supra with Tamada toasts. We will raise them with natural Georgian wine. Those wishing to extend the evening are invited to take a walk in the old town.
