The church ruins lie about seven hundred metres from the Trinity monastery of Katsareti. There is no roof, the walls survive unevenly, and thickets and tall grass surround them.
Khashmi belongs to Sagarejo Municipality and gave its name to the well known wine Khashmis Saperavi. The area lies in the Iori gorge, between the Gombori foothills and the steppe. Ujarma, an ancient fortress on a rocky ridge, is not far from here.
Do not climb on the masonry, as the walls hold worse than they look. The site remains part of the everyday life of the area, and that deserves respect.
Tips
- Combine the visit with neighbouring villages to save time.
- Bring a torch if it is dark inside.
- Watch your step in tall grass.
Getting there
- Ask locals for directions, since the short way is not always obvious.
- The last stretch runs along a dirt road that softens after rain.
