Why go

Modinakhe sits on a limestone ridge and preserves a story of local nobles and a fortified household. It is farther from Chiatura than the Katskhi sites, so plan it as its own journey.

The fort's ruins and high setting call for care underfoot. Enjoy the viewpoint from safe, permitted areas without exploring damaged chambers.
