Nedzvi Monastery stands in the Nedzvishevi gorge, on a tributary of the Mtkvari River, 10-12 kilometres from Akhaldaba, Borjomi Municipality, among the churches, cathedrals and monasteries of the region. A monument of Georgian architecture from the mid-9th century, built by disciples of St Gregory Khandzteli, Theodore Nedzveli and Christopher.
Originally a three-church basilica dedicated to St George, the monastery gradually fell into ruin over time. Following the site's clearance in 1948 and 1962, its original layout was revealed, establishing Nedzvi as the largest of Georgia's known three-church basilicas. The longitudinal walls of the middle church are decorated with stepped columns and arches, the eastern apse has rectangular niches on both sides, and the western apse features semicircular exedrae.
The monastery lies within the Nedzvi Managed Reserve, part of the Borjomi-Kharagauli protected areas, covering roughly 8,892 hectares. A popular two-day circular hiking route, 32 kilometres long, runs through the reserve, connecting Akhaldaba village, Didi-Karta mountain, Shuano mountain and Nedzvi village: the route can be adapted to fit different paces and fitness levels.
