What To Expect

Jinvali Water Reservoir

Our first stop will be at at Jinval Dam for photo taking. Jinvali Dam was made in 1970s in Soviet time for hydro electricy pover. The name of the Dam is coming from the city that was just before the dam. Now this city is under water and the tourists call it also underwater city. It was an old, antique time beautifull city with full of archeological sites and artefacts which are now under water. The local people were given the houses to live not far from the Dam. The level of the Dam rising in Summer in rainy season and reducing in Winter in dry Season. Only one fortress preserved from this city because it is located on higher place, on the hill. Our next stop will be Ananuri fortress.

Gudauri Ski Resort

In Gudauri we stop for photo taking at Gudauri Friendship monument. Actually it is next to Gudauri. Gudauri Friendship monument, called also Panorama Monument, was built in 1083 Soviet TIme for memorising 200 Years old friendship between Georgian and Russian people. The history of Georgia and Russia is painted on the wall. 200 Years ago a friendship and cooperation agreement was made between Georgian and Russian kings, they call also protectorship agreement, but after last Georgian kign died, Russians abolised kingdom in Georgia and Russian Governors ruled Georgia until Russian Socialist Revolutions, until Communists came to power. So this monument memorizes 200 Years relationship between Georgia and Russia, made in Soviet time propaganda style.
