Day One
We leave Batumi in the afternoon and drive toward Racha, almost reaching the starting point of the hike.
We stay overnight in a guesthouse — to avoid bad weather delays and to save energy in the morning without setting up camp.
Day Two
In the morning, we begin our hike.
The trail to the lake is 7 km with a 1500 m elevation gain.
During breaks, we enjoy breathtaking panoramic views in all directions.
Closer to the lake, we’ll see majestic cliffs and exposed layers of ancient rock.
On the way, we’ll search for minerals and fossils.
Evening of Day Two
We set up camp by the lake, enjoy the sunset and have dinner.
If the sky is clear, we’ll stargaze — several meteor showers will be active!
Day Three
We return via a slightly different route to keep things interesting.
The trail is again about 7 km, descending 1500 m.
We reach the car around 6 PM and return to Batumi by approximately 10 PM.
