Okatse Canyon

Carved over millennia by the Okatse River, this Imereti canyon is best known for its suspended hanging walkway, which carries you high above the gorge as lush greenery and rock walls drop away below. Beyond the cliff-edge path you'll find panoramic viewing platforms and the nearby triple cascade of Kinchkha Waterfall, all set among Imeretian villages an easy hour from Kutaisi. It makes a rewarding day out for hikers and anyone drawn to trails with a real sense of height and drama.

The surrounding villages maintain Imeretian traditions, with warm hospitality and tales of the canyon's mystical past enhancing the visitor experience.
