Why visit

Mtirala means weeping mountain. With about 4,250 mm of rain a year and frequent cloud, it is one of the wettest places in Georgia. The national park protects old Colchic forest, with a lake and Tsablnari Waterfall among its highlights.

What to expect

Marked trails range from short walks to a two-day route with a shelter. Fires are allowed only in designated areas. On a clear day the summit, at 1,761 metres, looks out over the Black Sea.
