Katskhi Pillar

Katski is a stairway to heaven, located near Chiatura, (13,4 km). This is the symbol of this region, as too many people get there to this natural masterpiece- kind of a wonder-place. Here lives only one monk. This is a place, where one can really feel how close the God is, the monk himself said, that it is up here in the silence, that one can feel God’s presence. Unfortunately, my sound masculine, but women are not allowed to get there. It is approximately 40 meters high

We had a pleasant day with Tornike, who showed us some really nice spots in and around Chiatura. Chiatura was the most "Soviet" town we've visited so far. On the back to Kutaisi we even stopped for a couple of places we wanted to see as well.
Highly recommended! Amazing experience.

This tour service is one of the best we've used in the Caucasus. Chiatura, Katskhi Pillar and Mgvimevi Monastery were amazing. Our guide was very knowledgeable and very nice, very good english skills and even got us into the small Chiatura local museum, in spite of the building where it is housed being renovated, we loved that visit. Highly recommended!
Great! Highly recommended!
