Captivating Georgia | Part 2 - Doramode!
Hello Folks, Welcome to another travel blog. And for today's content, I am writing about my recent trip to Georgia. This is my 2nd-day trip and one of the highlights of the tour.
This is Jvari Monastery at Mtskheta Eastern Georgia
Travel Time...
We left our hotel around 1:30 in the afternoon. We have a personal tour guide and a driver with a coach service. And it took us approximately 20 to 30 mins drive to reach the site all the way from Tbilisi.
Architecture...
Jvari Monastery is a Georgian Orthodox Monastery that existed for the last 6th century. And it is situated at a rocky mountain top of a hill overlooking the town of Mtskheta.
It is currently a Unesco World Heritage Site that survived to the present day that's almost unchanged.
Breathtaking View...
The breathtaking view within the monastery is surreal. If you're into nature thing, You would definitely love the scene. We arrived at the spot around 2PM, and the weather was bit gloomy and cold. and the parking lot was full of coasters, some of them are locals and other tourist wanting to check the monastery.
Some of the pictures I took below:
The good thing about us, as we're able to help by our local tour guide and made it easy to reach the top.
The local tour guide explained to us about the architecture of the monastery. The monastery was strengthened by a "controforse" wall. So that it would look like its growing from the mountain. Its an example of harmonic relation of architecture with nature.
