Darial Gorge

[Day15 Georgia Military Avenue] The Aragvi River is clear and bright, and a clear pool and high-flying paraglider can be seen in the Tergi Canyon. As the vehicle moves forward, the majesty of the South Caucasus Mountains is a little bit unfolding. At the end of the river, Ananuri Castle stands quietly at the foot of the mountains, invincible. No wonder the English version of the LP once used it as a cover. (200 Larry packs a car from Tbilisi at noon, 200 kilometers north along the military road, and arrives in the town of Stephantsminda in five hours.

The Darali Canyon is a must-have road to Russia from the Georgian border, with a length of about 11 kilometers in Georgia. The road we took was Georgia’s war-ready road to Russia, and it is said that it was built to defend itself against the supposed threat from northern Europe. So today we can see this so-called monument of friendship, in fact, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Transcaucasus three countries separated from the CIS countries, and because of territorial and ethnic issues each other have generated local war. Leaving the friendship monument, continuing to move forward, the car began to go down the mountain, and then turned over a not-high mountain pass, the driver told us that the town that appeared ahead was our destination.

Near the Military Avenue, not a scenic spot, it is the only way from Tbilisi to Kazbek. There will be snow-capped mountains on both sides, very similar to the Sichuan-Tibet line, but very clean. There will be paragliding and other outdoors. In short, the scenery is super beautiful. If it is a carpool, the driver will not stop. If the chartered car can stop the business to take pictures. April is still slightly cold.

Dariali is located in Kazbek National Park, close to the border with Russia, and is a must-have road to Russia by land. The Daryl Canyon Observation Deck is also known as the "Ge-Russia Friendship Observation Deck". This observation deck located on the top of the mountain next to the road is also a highlight. There are various beautiful graffiti on the wall of the observation deck, and it is called the "Graffiti Observation Deck". You can also play paragliding nearby. Unfortunately, we were closing the maintenance. The viewing angle of a simple observation deck on the roadside is one of the bright spots. Not only can you see the graffiti observation deck, but also the Emerald Lake at the foot of the mountain, both are correct.

Stepantzminda is a small town in northeast Georgia named after the Orthodox monk St. Stephen, who founded a monastery in seclusion. During the Soviet period, the town was renamed Kazbić, the name of a Russian officer who occupied the place. In 2006, the town was renamed.
