A monastic community stands near Ortubani village in the west of Shida Kartli. No name has settled on it, and maps list it simply as a monastery.
The area lies southwest of Kareli, in the hills near the boundary with the Khashuri district. The road here climbs from the Mtkvari valley along narrow gorges.
Modest clothing is appropriate in the community, and a headscarf is worth bringing for women. Photography and attending services are best agreed with the residents.
