What To Expect
Shaori Reservoir is covered with mixed deciduous trees beautiful in all seasons of the year. However in autumn and spring it is a spectacular sight with various colours of the trees reflected in the lake. Shaori is known for its healing properties with cold winters and cool summers (1100-1200 metres above sea level).
Nikortsminda Cathedral
Nikortsminda Cathedral was built in 1010–1014 during the reign of Bagrat III of Georgia and was repaired in 1534 by the King Bagrat III of Imereti. Three-storied bell-tower next to the cathedral was built in the 19th century. It is on the tentative list of UNESCO World Heritage Site. Nikortsminda has the Georgian cross-dome style of architecture with a massive dome and twelve windows decorated with ornamented architraves. Interior is decorated with frescoes from the 17th century and the rich ornaments, reflecting the mastery of the late-Medieval Georgian ecclesiastic art.

5.00Tour to Racha was great! Didn't except that small city Ambrolauri (with ~2100 population) has its own airport! Wine Khvanchkara was too delicious! I recommend tour to Racha everyone who want to see great mountains, rivers, lakes, old churches, taste original Georgian Khvanchkara - everything in one tour! P.S.
