Inzra Valley
The municipality of Tsalenjiha is located on the border of Samegrelo and Zemo Svaneti, in the valley of the Inguri and Chanistskali rivers. The toponym "Tsalenjikha" comes from the name of the oldest Kolkhoisk tribe of the Chani; "Tselenjikha" — that is, the fortress of the chans.Tsalenjikha is distinguished by its magnificent landscape and natural attractions.

The source of the Incra River is located in the municipality of Tsalenjihi, in the southern part of the Kvira karst massif. One of the branches of the river originates in the cave of Kvira, and from there flows out as an underground river. There are many interesting places for tourists in the deep valley of the river: a cave, waterfalls, an underground river.
Incra Cave is formed in massive limestone deposits. An impassable hiking trail leads to the cave, laid along the slopes of a steep cliff. The entrance height is 1-1.2 meters, width — 3 m.
After 14 meters, the crevice drops again, and a large stream flows out of the underground lake, the flow rate of which is approximately 350 l/ s. Part of the water flow is piped to the population of the Tsalenjikha municipality, and part falls down rocky ledges, forming a magnificent Inzra waterfall (height — 30 m).
A unique boxwood grove stretches in the vicinity of the waterfall.
