Wonderful natural monuments to see in Georgia. Okatse and Kinchkha.

In the Imereti region, at a distance of several kilometers from each other, there is the highest waterfall in Georgia, Kinchhi, and the deepest Okatse Canyon.

The Okatse River, a left tributary of the Tskhenistskali River, originates in the Askhi massif. In the vicinity of the village of Zeda Gordi, it forms a 16-kilometer canyon, the depth of which reaches 35-50 m, and its average width is 4 m. In some places, the canyon walls almost connect to each other and form natural stone bridges. From one of these bridges – the "Bridge of God" - you can even see the bottom of the canyon.

In the vicinity of the village of Zemo Gordi, the river forms an unusual natural monument – a two-kilometer canyon, at the bottom of which there are natural bridges, caves and vaucluses (karst springs). Near one of the natural stone bridges "Kvahida", the canyon reaches a depth of 100 meters.

The river forms lakes in which the white bottom is visible through transparent bluish-green water, as well as cascades, the largest of which has a height of more than 80 meters. Known as the "Kincha Waterfall", this cascade is listed in the Red Book of Natural Wonders.

In the village of Zeda Gordi, two kilometers from Okatse Canyon, the ruins of the summer residence of the Dadiani (rulers of Samegrelo) have been preserved. The territory, which extends over 80 hectares of land, was previously surrounded by a stone wall with three guarded gates. The two-storey, fortress-like palace was built in 1841 by David Dadiani according to the project of the Russian architect Leonid Vasiliev.

The palace complex included a sauna and an artificial pond. The two- to three-hour route through Okatse Canyon is laid through the historical Dadiani Forest Park, passes a 780-meter suspension bridge and ends with an observation deck.
