David Gareja Monastery Complex Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels
Monastery in Georgia
About David Gareja Monastery Complex
The monastery lies on the half-desert slopes of Mount Gareja, 60–70 km southeast of Georgia's capitalTbilisi, and is even partially inAzerbaijan. Although most of the complex is in Georgia, the ridge of the site is in Azerbaijan and completely closed as of 2022, and as such, there is no way to get up (though the exact border is still the subject of a dispute between these countries). This kind of defeats the purpose of the whole trip and thus makes it probably not worth it. However, if you have a car, coming by will rewards you with some impressive landscapes—there is a shortcut by Rustavi.
