Hauntingly beautiful and surrounded by barren landscape, the Davit Gareja area consists of churches, monasteries, caves, and incredible panoramas, and is a memorable visit.
We walked to the other side of the ridge, and descended to a lower level where we expected to find the famous cave monasteries of Udabno. We met with two Azeri soldiers armed with Kalashnikovs, who proudly killed a cobra for us. We soon found the first caves with frescoes with amazingly bright colours. After seeing more great examples of almost 1,000 year old fresco mastery, we realized we had not seen everything yet. Looking back at the cliffs, we saw that there were more levels of caves and decided to check the higher level. Climbing over rocks took us to the most amazing caves of them all, the refectory and the church of annunciation. When we finally walked down the hill back to our Lada, we felt we just had a great, almost mystical experience in the mountains of Davit Gareja. The old Russian car managed the road down well, even though we almost capsized in the dirt tracks. The joyful driver hailed a marshrutka and before we knew it, we were on our way back to Tbilisi in a world that seemed so far from the one we had just come from.
