This immense wild territory with its arid, semi-desert climate covers more than 250km2 and is home to a wealth of wildlife. Up until 20 years ago, hyenas and Caucasian leopards lived in the park.

Due to the region's arid climate, it gets<strong> very hot in summer (July-August)<\/strong>, so the best time to visit is <strong>spring and autumn<\/strong>. Please note that the trails can become very difficult in wet weather, as the ground turns to sticky, slippery clay. <strong>In case of rain, a 4x4 is mandatory<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>How much time should I allow in the park?<\/h3>\n<p>We recommend <strong>spending at least two days in the park<\/strong>. This allows you to enjoy the scenery in the morning and evening, when the light is at its best. You can also plan to <strong>hike or ride<\/strong> in the park. Then, if you wish to drive to the David Gareja monastery along the Azeri border, allow at least another 2 or 3 days.<\/p>\n<h3>Where to sleep and eat in the park?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Dedoplistskaro<\/strong> is the<strong> last refreshment point<\/strong> before heading into Vashlovani Park. Remember to stock up on food, water and fuel. <strong>Camping is permitted in the park<\/strong>. It's a great way to enjoy the morning light and observe wildlife.<\/p>\n<p>If you don't want to camp in the park, you can sleep in the park's<strong> bungalows<\/strong>. However, you will need to reserve them in advance when you apply for your permit. The price for a 2-person bungalow is GEL 40 and for a 3-person bungalow GEL 50 (each bungalow has its own private bathroom).<\/p>\n<h3>What type of vehicle is recommended for visiting Vashlovani?<\/h3>\n<p>An off-road vehicle is recommended (4\u00d74 with high ground clearance), especially in wet weather, when tracks become muddy and slippery. In dry weather, an SUV equipped with off-road tires may suffice. Motorcycles and trucks have been banned from Vashlovani Park for several years.<\/p>\n<h3>Don't forget to apply for your Dedoplistskaro permit<\/h3>\n<p>The border area with Azerbaijan is subject to strict regulations governing the movement of people, particularly foreigners. <strong>A border permit is therefore required for the Vashlovani National Park, the Chachuna Reserve and the Iori Plateau<\/strong> (tracks 7, 8 and 9 in our <a href=\"https:\/\/ountravela.com\/en\/shop\/guide-aventure-road-book\/explore-georgia-travel-guide\/\" title=\"Explore Georgia travel guide\">Explore Georgia guide<\/a>). Please note that special permission is required for Vashlovani National Park and Chachuna Reserve.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Permits for Vashlovani Park and Chachuna Reserve are issued at the <strong>Vashlovani Visitor Centre in Dedoplistskaro<\/strong>. You must present your passport and vehicle documents. If you're renting a vehicle, check that the rental agency has provided you with these documents.<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Admission: 5 GEL per person.<\/li>\n<li>Vehicle: 5 GEL per vehicle (motorcycles are not allowed on tracks 6, 7 and 8, and trucks are not allowed on track 7).<\/li>\n<li>Overnight bivouac: 5 GEL per person per night.<\/li>\n<li>Night in a bungalow: double room GEL 40 per night, triple room GEL 50 per night.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>For <strong>tracks 7 (Vashlovani Park) and 8 (Chachouna Reserve)<\/strong>, you can apply for a border permit<strong> at the border police in Dedoplistskaro<\/strong> after obtaining authorization at the Vashlovani Visitor Centre. However, if you also wish to travel<strong> on track 9 (Iori steppes)<\/strong>, things get a little more complicated: a border permit can only be applied for at the <strong>Tbilisi border police<\/strong> (12 Simon Kandelaki street). It is therefore advisable to apply there directly for border permits for lanes 7, 8 and 9.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Please note that at each checkpoint, guards will check your border permit, authorization, car papers and passport. If any of these documents is missing, you will not be able to enter the park.  <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_6 et_pb_row et_pb_row_3-4_1-4 et_block_row et_block_row_3-4_1-4 preset--module--divi-row--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_8 et_pb_column et_pb_column_3_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_6 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module et_pb_text_align_center preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>While you're waiting for your permits in Dedoplistskaro, you can take a walk to the nearby Eagle Canyon.

Next, a track that passes through Alisebi and Pantishara. It's on this second route that you may be lucky enough to spot gazelles.<\/p>\n<h4>Usakhelo viewpoint - Mijniskure substation<\/h4>\n<p>A dirt track leads to the spectacular <strong>Usakhelo viewpoint<\/strong>. An observation platform has been built above an outcrop, offering a panoramic view of the badlands. From here, you can see the track plunging into the middle of this stunning landscape. It disappears into a narrow, winding canyon before emerging onto an open plain that leads to the <strong>Mijniskure guardhouse<\/strong>. The section of track that crosses the canyon can be tricky in wet weather, when the clay soil turns to sticky, slippery clay. The Mijniskure camp is located on a meander of the Alazani River, which forms a natural border with Azerbaijan. The views are stunning, especially in autumn when the trees lining the river turn golden. At Mijniskure camp, you'll find bungalows (to be booked in advance) and places to camp. A well provides drinking water.<\/p>\n<h4>Steppes aux Gazelles - Alisebi - Pantishara Gorge<\/h4>\n<p>On these vast steppes, you may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the park's famous <strong>goitered gazelles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The road then joins the <strong>Alisebi badlands<\/strong>. It's hard to know what country you're in when you get here. In Iran? In Kenya? Or maybe even on the moon? Sculpted by the wind and eroded by rain over millions of years, clay landscapes have taken on original shapes, from sheer cliffs to canyons, ridges, chasms and pyramidal columns. These ancient seabeds are now home to griffon vultures, who soar silently above the high cliffs.<\/p>\n<p>After the vast Alisebi badlands, the valley narrows into a narrow, cliff-lined canyon. The <strong>Pantishara canyon<\/strong> continues to the \"Bear Gorge\" tributary, then on to the ranger huts.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_10 et_pb_row et_block_row preset--module--divi-row--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_13 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_image_5 et_pb_image et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fr\/georgie\/articles\/parc-national-vashlovani-georgie.jpg\" width=\"481\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fr\/georgie\/articles\/parc-national-vashlovani-georgie.jpg 481w, https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fr\/georgie\/articles\/parc-national-vashlovani-georgie-241x300.jpg 241w, https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fr\/georgie\/articles\/parc-national-vashlovani-georgie-72x90.jpg 72w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 481px) 100vw, 481px\" class=\"wp-image-30126\" title=\"national-park-vashlovani-georgia\" alt=\"A must-see during your 4x4 trip to Georgia: Vashlovani Park.\" \/><\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_14 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_image_6 et_pb_image et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fr\/georgie\/articles\/parc-de-vashlovani-georgie.jpg\" width=\"484\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fr\/georgie\/articles\/parc-de-vashlovani-georgie.jpg 484w, https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fr\/georgie\/articles\/parc-de-vashlovani-georgie-480x595.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 484px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-30631\" title=\"park-of-vashlovani-georgia\" alt=\"Shiraki Ridge, on the road to Vashlovani Park: discover it in the book explore georgie\" \/><\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_15 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_image_7 et_pb_image et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fr\/georgie\/articles\/vashlovani-parc-georgie.jpg\" width=\"486\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fr\/georgie\/articles\/vashlovani-parc-georgie.jpg 486w, https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fr\/georgie\/articles\/vashlovani-parc-georgie-480x593.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 486px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-30130\" title=\"vashlovani-parc-georgia\" alt=\"one of the highlights of a road-trip in Georgia: Vashlovani Park\" \/><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_11 et_pb_row et_pb_row_3-4_1-4 et_block_row et_block_row_3-4_1-4 preset--module--divi-row--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_16 et_pb_column et_pb_column_3_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_10 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module et_pb_text_align_center preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>Less than a century ago, herds of gazelles grazed peacefully in the plains and foothills of the South Caucasus. As a result of poaching and intensive farming in the surrounding valleys, the species almost completely disappeared in the 1960s. Since 2013, the Georgian government and the NGO WWF started a programme to reintroduce the goitered gazelle into the park.

From desert steppes to lush forests lining the <strong>Iori River<\/strong>, the reserve is packed with stunning landscapes that will make you feel as if you're on another continent, or even another planet. This immense wilderness is a refuge for many species. Swarms of birds fly over the forests along the river, while wolves and jackals howl at night. The track did not present any major difficulties when we visited, but it can quickly deteriorate in bad weather.  <\/p>\n<h3><keywordmarkbgy>Discovering<\/keywordmarkbgy> mud volcanoes<\/h3>\n<p>A few kilometers after the <strong>Dali Mta reservoir<\/strong>, there are two different places where you can find <strong>mud volcanoes<\/strong>: <strong>Takhti-Tepha and Kilakupra<\/strong>. A hundred mud volcanoes litter the hillside. The diameter of the craters varies from a few centimetres for the smallest to several metres for the largest. Contrary to what you might think, the mud mixture discharged from the crater is not hot. The emission of gas through the viscous sludge is at the origin of the large bubbles formed on the surface. The color palette (light gray, dark gray, brown, blue, black, etc.) is impressive. It forms a fascinating natural tableau in motion. Please do not damage the site by staying away from the craters. Your footprints remain visible for several weeks.<\/p>\n<h3>Cross the Iori steppes and <keywordmarkbgy>discover<\/keywordmarkbgy> the Sabeerebi monasteries<\/h3>\n<p>Dotted with <strong>thousand-year-old troglodyte monasteries<\/strong> and remarkable geological structures, this itinerary will delight lovers of both wide open spaces and history. The track criss-crosses the <strong>arid, semi-desert landscapes<\/strong> of the Iori plateau along the border with Azerbaijan. After <keywordmarkbgy>discovering<\/keywordmarkbgy> the mud volcanoes, you'll cross the <strong>Iori River<\/strong>, lined with flooded forests and <strong>shady bivouac spots<\/strong>. The cliffs overlooking the Iori steppes were dug out in the 6th century to house hermitage monks. Take the time to explore these abandoned troglodyte monasteries covered in period frescoes. Here and there, erosion has exposed the sedimentary rock that makes up the soil, forming ruiniform landscapes and multicolored hills.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_13 et_pb_row et_block_row preset--module--divi-row--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_19 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_image_9 et_pb_image et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fr\/georgie\/articles\/chachouna-vashlovani-georgie.jpg\" width=\"477\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fr\/georgie\/articles\/chachouna-vashlovani-georgie.jpg 477w, https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fr\/georgie\/articles\/chachouna-vashlovani-georgie-239x300.jpg 239w, https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fr\/georgie\/articles\/chachouna-vashlovani-georgie-72x90.jpg 72w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 477px) 100vw, 477px\" class=\"wp-image-30129\" title=\"chachouna-vashlovani-georgia\" alt=\"road-trip in southern Kakhetia: from Vashlovani to David Gareja\" \/><\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_20 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_image_10 et_pb_image et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/en\/georgia\/articles\/mud-volcano-georgia.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/en\/georgia\/articles\/mud-volcano-georgia.jpg 480w, https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/en\/georgia\/articles\/mud-volcano-georgia-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/en\/georgia\/articles\/mud-volcano-georgia-72x90.jpg 72w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" class=\"wp-image-30362\" title=\"mud-volcano-georgia\" alt=\"Georgia road trip: don&#039;t miss the mud volcanoes\" \/><\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_21 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_image_11 et_pb_image et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fr\/georgie\/articles\/parc-vashlovani-georgie-4x4-1.jpg\" width=\"484\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fr\/georgie\/articles\/parc-vashlovani-georgie-4x4-1.jpg 484w, https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fr\/georgie\/articles\/parc-vashlovani-georgie-4x4-1-480x595.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 484px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-30633\" title=\"park-vashlovani-georgia-4x4\" alt=\"bivouac in the heart of the vashlovani park, find all our tips for your 4x4 itinerary\" \/><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_14 et_pb_row et_block_row preset--module--divi-row--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_22 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_12 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>Udabno<\/h3>\n<p>Udabno is the first village on this route. After the fall of the USSR, it was abandoned and many houses fell into ruin. Today, a few families have returned to the area. A Polish family runs an inn and a small restaurant.<\/p>\n<h3>David Gareja Monastery<\/h3>\n<p>The <strong>David Gareja troglodyte complex<\/strong> consists of a dozen independent monasteries located on the border with Azerbaijan in a vast arid valley. The best known of these is the <strong>Lavra monastery<\/strong>. This incredible historic site, over 1,400 years old, features a troglodyte section and several stone buildings, including fortifications and a small church. Located 100 km south of Tbilisi, it is one of the region's main tourist attractions. Since 2019, following a disagreement between Georgia and Azerbaijan, part of the complex, including access to the Udabno monastery, has been closed to tourists. But the site is well worth a visit!<\/p>\n<h3>Rainbow mountains<\/h3>\n<p>Made up of several <strong>layers of colored clays and sandstones<\/strong>, the hills form a magnificent multicolored natural tableau, hence their name of <strong>Rainbow Hills<\/strong>. This semi-desert landscape is accessible via a dirt track. The hills are reflected in a small stretch of water where families picnic in summer. Many herds also come here to drink.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_15 et_pb_row et_block_row preset--module--divi-row--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_23 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_image_12 et_pb_image et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fr\/georgie\/articles\/monastere-david-gareja-georgie.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fr\/georgie\/articles\/monastere-david-gareja-georgie.jpg 480w, https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fr\/georgie\/articles\/monastere-david-gareja-georgie-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fr\/georgie\/articles\/monastere-david-gareja-georgie-72x90.jpg 72w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" class=\"wp-image-30115\" title=\"monastery-david-gareja-georgia\" alt=\"discover the david gareja troglodyte monastery in Georgia\" \/><\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_24 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_image_13 et_pb_image et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fr\/georgie\/articles\/sabeerebi-monastere-david-gareja-georgie.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fr\/georgie\/articles\/sabeerebi-monastere-david-gareja-georgie.jpg 480w, https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fr\/georgie\/articles\/sabeerebi-monastere-david-gareja-georgie-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fr\/georgie\/articles\/sabeerebi-monastere-david-gareja-georgie-72x90.jpg 72w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" class=\"wp-image-30634\" title=\"sabeerebi-monastere-david-gareja-georgia\" alt=\"david gareja monastery in Georgia and sabeerebi: 4x4 itinerary\" \/><\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_25 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_image_14 et_pb_image et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fr\/georgie\/articles\/road-trip-moto-georgie-kakhetie.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fr\/georgie\/articles\/road-trip-moto-georgie-kakhetie.jpg 480w, https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fr\/georgie\/articles\/road-trip-moto-georgie-kakhetie-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fr\/georgie\/articles\/road-trip-moto-georgie-kakhetie-72x90.jpg 72w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" class=\"wp-image-30645\" title=\"road-trip-motorcycles-georgia-kakhetia\" alt=\"motorcycle trip in Georgia, discover southern Kakhetia\" \/><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_3 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section preset--module--divi-section--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_16 et_pb_row et_block_row preset--module--divi-row--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_26 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_image_15 et_pb_image et_pb_module et_block_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/logo\/crocoloup-sacados-03.png\" width=\"903\" height=\"903\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/logo\/crocoloup-sacados-03.png 903w, https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/logo\/crocoloup-sacados-03-480x480.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 903px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-21431\" title=\"crocoloup-sacados-03\" alt=\"\"><\/span><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_text_13 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module et_pb_text_align_center preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact our<span> <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/overland.georgia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">facebook discussion group<\/a><span> <\/span>dedicated to exploration in Georgia.
