Itinerary
The hike to Ninoskhevi Waterfall starts at the Gurgeniani Visitor Center in Lagodekhi Protected Areas. The trail follows the Ninoskhevi River along a narrow, mostly shaded path through dense forest. Along the way, you'll pass small waterfalls, large boulders, and a variety of local plants, including rare relict species. The route is about 8–9 kilometers round trip (4–4.5 km one way) and takes approximately 5 to 6 hours to complete, depending on your pace and stops. With some rocky and uneven sections, the hike is considered moderate difficulty and requires proper footwear. At the end of the trail, you'll reach the stunning 40-meter Ninoskhevi Waterfall — one of the most impressive natural sights in Georgia. After resting and enjoying the view, you will hike back along the same trail to the starting point.
