Kutaisi: tour guidato delle funivie Chiatura e del pilastro Katskhi
Descrizione
Fai una visita guidata da Kutaisi per esplorare le gemme nascoste della regione di Imereti. Visita il Pilastro Katskhi, un monolite calcareo alto 40 metri con una chiesa in cima. La tappa successiva sarà la città mineraria di Chiatura, un tempo numero 1 nell'estrazione del manganese, rinomata per il suo esclusivo sistema di funivia dell'era sovietica, installato negli anni '50 per trasportare minatori e residenti su e giù per le ripide colline. Che ci crediate o no, fino ad oggi le funivie sono uno dei principali mezzi di trasporto pubblico per la gente del posto. Le vecchie funivie sono state sostituite con quelle nuove, ma vedrai alcune delle vecchie funivie, note anche come "bare volanti", appese alle linee abbandonate. Farai un giro sulla nuova cabinovia Chiatura e ti sentirai come un abitante del posto per un po' di tempo. Vedrai monumenti e mosaici sovietici sparsi per Chiatura e vedrai anche tipici edifici residenziali sovietici. Dopo una passeggiata a Chiatura, prosegui fino al convento di Mghvimevi, scavato nella roccia. In serata ritorno a Kutaisi.

Itinerario
Il pilastro di Katskhi è uno spettacolare 40 m. alta roccia con una chiesa in cima. Raramente c'è una possibilità di salire, poiché il monaco ci vive stabilmente, anche i suoi fratelli comunicano solo con lui portando cibo e con l'aiuto della corda. Puoi scattare foto mozzafiato del pilastro sulla strada o dal parcheggio. Tuttavia, c'è una chiesa e un monastero al piano terra. Quindi non è una visita molto lunga, ma ne vale la pena.
Chiatura è una città industriale molto importante nella Georgia occidentale, è una delle principali miniere di manganese. È famosissimo anche per le sue funivie, costruite negli anni '50 come mezzo di trasporto per i minatori. Farai un giro su una delle nuove linee.

We had an amazing experience with this tour! We were the only two guests that day, but our guide Ana still gave us a fantastic private tour. She drove us to all the beautiful sights, including Chiatura and the Katskhi Pillar, and shared many interesting facts and stories along the way. Ana was incredibly kind, patient, and thoughtful. She always made sure we were comfortable, gave us enough time at every stop, and answered all of our questions with enthusiasm. We never felt rushed and could really enjoy every location. Her friendly personality and passion for her work made this tour very special. We highly recommend this tour, especially with Ana as your guide. Thank you for making our day in Georgia so memorable!

This was a great day tour, definitely recommend. The route was perfect- there was lots to see and explore without too much time spent traveling between locations. It was refreshingly slower-paced despite including many notable sights which was great because we saw a lot without feel rushed. Content consisted of a lovely mix between history, views, culture, and religion. We especially liked that this tour allowed us to see and appreciate many things that we wouldn’t have otherwise. Our guide was welcoming, approachable, attentive, and knowledgeable. Her driving was *excellent* and we felt fully safe and comfortable with her behind the wheel. We actually did 2 tours with Megobari and loved their overall vibe; while still very professional and organized, there was less of a “corporate” feel and more of a warm, personal feeling.
We enjoyed this day trip with different kinds of stops very much! It was a good mixture between landscapes, architecture and history (from soviet times as well as before). It was also very interactive, as we got to ride on the old and new cable cars of Chiatura. The tour guide was very kind and told us a lot of interesting facts about Georgia! Thank you!
We experienced with our guide Sandra a very interesting varied tour through the history and development of a mining industry town with a focus on the cable cars. It was an impressive tour.
I truly recommend this tour. Our guide Teona was amazing! She answered all our questions e tell us a lot of interesting facts about places. She is very appassionate, gentle and also a great fotographer :)
An interesting excursion that will appeal to fans of history, religion and technology, full of beautiful views. Guide knows what he's talking about. The small van we were travelling in was quite cramped (but the train to Chiatura is currently not running, so there is no choice). Keep in mind that you may get muddy, so choose appropriate clothing.
