Hauntingly beautiful and surrounded by barren landscape, the Davit Gareja area consists of churches, monasteries, caves, and incredible panoramas, and is a memorable visit.
When we were on the way from Gardabani in an old Lada that seemed on the verge of breaking down, I realized I was very excited, because it was for some time I had been looking forward to visiting Davit Gareja. The landscape around us emptied itself as we drove on, and we had to get out the car and push every time we stopped. The poor thing nearly broke down on the awful road, but the strong Russian quality took us to the top. We were delighted to see the Lavra monastery, with the St. Nicholas church, the caves used for a living by monks and the very first cave that was used as a monastery by Davit in the 6th century. A short climb up the watchtower gave us an even better view on all these.
