Things to Do in Vardzia
Starting points for your perfect trip
Queen Tamar's Cave Kingdom Expedition
Explore the 13-story cave complex with an expert guide who brings Queen Tamar's world to life—from the Church of the Dormition's rare frescoes to hidden wine cellars with original qvevri still embedded in rock floors. Includes exclusive early access before tour groups arrive.
Mtkvari Valley Fortress Trail
Journey through Georgia's medieval defensive network: the 2,000-year-old Khertvisi Fortress at the confluence of two rivers, the cliff-hanging Vanis Kvabebi monastery (predating Vardzia by four centuries), and the remote Tmogvi Castle ruins accessible only on foot.
Samtskhe-Javakheti Cultural Immersion
Combine Vardzia with Akhaltsikhe's Rabati Fortress and the cliff-edge Sapara Monastery. Sample regional specialties unavailable elsewhere in Georgia: apokhtis khinkali (dried meat dumplings), local snails, and UNESCO-listed tenili cheese.
Borjomi to Vardzia Heritage Route
A comprehensive journey from Borjomi's imperial mineral springs through the dramatic Mtkvari River canyon to Vardzia. Stops include the Green Monastery at Chitakhevi and hidden hot springs near the cave city for a restorative soak after exploration.
