A Hike to the Truso Gorges, Georgia

A day trip & hike to the Truso Gorges(თრუსოს ხეობა), Georgia

Through fantastic gorges of the Caucasus and forgotten villages, to the fortress of Zakagori (ზაქაგორის ციხე-სიმაგრე)!

Good morning good evening good afternoon, travelers! Time is irrelevant, as we are here to talk about space, spaces we visit and spaces we become a part of!

Two days ago, I had the chance to go on a day hike up in the mountains, in the remote Truso gorges of Georgia! Our adventure took us in the North of the country, closer to the Russian border, as well as the contested territory of Georgia, the Tskhinvali region (ცხინვალის რეგიონი) - or South Ossetia.

Here are a few pictures of that adventure!

The village of Ketrisi (კეტრისი)

The Abano village (აბანო)

A bubbly sulfury smelly lake, going down a few KILOMETERS deep

The river going through the valley shows a whole variety of colours going from red to blue, because of the high iron and sulfur concentration in the ground. Sometimes, you can also come across bubbly mud puddles coming straight from hell's kitchen!

I hope it was interesting and entertaining for you as it was for me, and I'll see you soon for some more pictures and exploration tales! Until then, thanks for reading!

Seems like a trip with a bit of contrast between the abandoned buildings lost to civilization and the untouched boiling river to the clear lake. Very nice pictures :-)
