Hiking Route from Ijareti to Zarzma via Lake Triala
The most beautiful places in Georgia are its nature reserves. And they are beautiful all the time, but to fully enjoy some routes, it's better to pay attention to seasonality.
For example, for the route through the village of Idzhareti, Lake Trialeti, and the village of Zarzma, it's worth going in spring, summer, or autumn.
The starting point of the journey is the village of Idzhareti, which is located at an altitude of 1300 m above sea level. Be prepared to walk on a dirt road, so make sure you have suitable footwear.

The first destination is the largest Lake Trialeti, which is located 320 m higher than Idzhareti. On the way to the next destination, you will pass by another very small lake. And the third and final lake on the route appears literally immediately before the road begins to descend to the village of Zarzma. Here is the eponymous monastery located at an altitude of 1290 m above sea level.
The Zarzma Monastery is the last destination of our route. You can stay here longer and explore the area, or learn about the locals' way of life.

Мадлоба добавляет советы от местных: тропы без грязи, источники воды, сезон май-октябрь. Отзывы читателей подсказали лодку на озере, FAQ — трансфер 20 лари, с детьми ок. Планирую повторить Иджарети за ягодами!
А вы были у озера Триала — что круче, монастырь или пикник? Делитесь! 🤔
