About

Why Visit Georgia?

Georgia — the small Caucasian nation sandwiched between Russia, Turkey, Armenia, and Azerbaijan — has become one of travel's most exciting discoveries. It is the oldest wine country on Earth (8,000 years of viticulture), home to some of Europe's most dramatic mountain scenery in the Kazbegi region, and possesses a medieval monastic culture of breathtaking beauty in places like Svetitskhoveli, Gelati, and Vardzia cave city. Tbilisi's old town is a UNESCO-listed tangle of balconied wooden houses, Persian bathhouses, and Orthodox churches — a city that somehow combines Parisian café culture with Central Asian bazaar energy. For Indian travellers, Georgia is visa-free, affordable, and strikingly beautiful. It is the kind of place that changes your travel expectations permanently.
