Imereti region is one of the greenest in Georgia, and so are its protected areas. Okatse Canyon is one of the main Imeretian pearls. If you are in Kutaisi, you have to find the time for a visit – it’s just 50 km away (approximately 1 hour driving).

The 2.3 km long pedestrian trail begins in the Dadiani park in Gordi village and will lead you through the forest to the exciting panoramic trail. While the river gurgles along at the bottom of the canyon, you walk along the sheer cliff-face. The canyon trail is 780 m long, and at the end, there is a panoramic platform, thrilling for those with a head for heights!

If you have enough time, take a ride to the Kinchkha Waterfalls located quite close to Okatse. From the visitor center, it will take you another 40 minutes’ drive. It’s also possible to camp or stay overnight there.
