The road ends at the border of Georgia with Russia.<\/p>\n<p>Mt. Kazbegi Mountain (or <em>Mkinvartsveri \u2013 the ice-peak<\/em>) &#8212; the third highest mountain in Georgia is related to the Greek myth about Prometheus. Legend tells that as a punishment he was chained to the Caucasus Mountains and the Georgians believe that Kazbegi was the exact mountain that he was chained to. Prometheus (in Georgian variation &#8212; <em>Amirani<\/em>) was supposedly\u00a0imprisoned in a cave called Betlemi (Bethlehem). The cave was believed to be the shelter of the sacred relics such as Abraham\u2019s tent and Christ\u2019s manger.<\/p>\n<p>The steep valleys in Dariali Gorge are fantastic for bird watching. Eagles, hawks and the massive griffon vultures all nest among the rocky outcrops. Besides their majesty of the Great Caucasus Mountains, the medieval watchtowers, waterfalls and wildlife make Kazbegi area one of the most incredible places for taking horse-back ride holidays.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Available in June-September<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#187;1\/2&#8243;][vc_gmaps link=&#187;#E-8_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&#187;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_accordion style=&#187;outline&#187; color=&#187;green&#187; active_section=&#187;0&#8243;][vc_tta_section title=&#187;Itinerary&#187; tab_id=&#187;1467363510940-f2abf9e4-edcf&#187;][vc_column_text]<strong>Day 1: Arrive in Tbilisi<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Arrive in Tbilisi and transfer to a hotel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Day 2: Tbilisi\/Mtskheta\/Kazbegi<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We have walking tour of Tbilisi visiting the highlights of the Old Town with beautiful Orthodox Christian Churches, Mosque, Synagogue, famous and refreshing Sulphur Baths, narrow cobbled streets with hanging wooden carved multi-colored balconies and the 19<sup>th<\/sup> century houses following the architectural styles of the 19<sup>th<\/sup> century Europe, Narikala Fortress, the glass Bridge of Peace.
