Katskhi Pillar

Amazing place in Georgia. This was perfect view in perfect weather. It's free to enter the place. Not required ticket. You can't climb up. We recommend this for everyone.

Definitely worth the visit, some beautiful scenery and has a small museum free of charge. A short walk from the car park up a massive hill to the monastery, then a further walk to the viewpoint, there are no shops nearby so be sure to take water with you. The grounds are very well kept also and there are candles available to buy for prayers.

Peaceful place but be careful: you won't be allowed to climb the ladder to the top of the rock like in some Chinese monasteries, as it is only allowed to the monks. There's a museum, and in total you'll visit everything in twenty minutes. I don't recommend it for ''the trip of the day'' but I do recommend it if for some reason you're stumbling across this place while going somewhere else. It's an emotionally touching religious place displaying what people can do to honor their faith. There is no paid entrance, and you can buy a few things there (trinkets, candles, icons and sanctified ointments).

looks really cool and very interesting unfortunately you have to walk 300 m to the base of the column, and you it rained quite a bit I skip it, but I guess it’s more interesting from close

Beautiful views we made it all the way up in a capable of road vehicle using 4x4 low do to steep incline with rock's

Beautiful place. Very inspiring. The ladder that goes up the pillar was locked

This is a great place to have a quick excursion off the highway. Note: you can park up close to the column if it's not crowded. But if you like small hikes and want the grandest view of the column, I recommend parking in a specific lot on the road to the column. This lot has a rock paved trail to the column. It is scenic and has a spectacular view on the way up to the column. I added pictures of the lot and it's surroundings at the end of my photos if you think that's the way for you.

I've never been to this country, so i can't give it 5 stars. But I want to live in that house with my 2 cats and 2 dogs. My only question is: how much will I need to tip my doordasher for delivering the food to my front door?
