Okatse canyon

One of the iconic refined and advertised canyons of Georgia.
Included in all guidebooks)))).
The entrance is along steep serpentines. The road is good. New asphalt.
The landmark of the office is a large parking lot on the right and a lot of Japanese minibuses with increased traffic .
Parking is free.
There are ticket offices in the concrete-glass building. We pay here. Entrance is 17.5 lari .Accept cash and cards. There is a toilet.
By the entrance to the canyon (below), they only check tickets. Perhaps there is also a payment by bank cards. They didn't check it. And I don't advise it. It's better to pay here at the top. Otherwise, you will go back and forth an extra 5 km.
We pass through the glass doors into the park and walk along the equipped path. Signs and benches are present . The presence of the latter will be appreciated upon return. Walk to the canyon about 2.5 km for about an hour. The last section with fairly steep slopes. Steps, railings, fences, benches.
From the ticket offices to the canyon, you can drive with obsessive taxi drivers in the Japanese car industry. I didn't like the price)). They asked for 100lari. Probably for the car. They did not specify because they immediately tuned in to the pedestrian.
Perhaps you can also use your own cross-country car. The beginning of the car descent to the right of the parking lot.
At the beginning of the canyon (below) there is an office booth, parking, a free toilet. There you can wash and get water.
The tickets are checked with a scanner and launched onto a metal staircase. You may not be able to buy tickets here! We'll have to go back to the upper office. It is physically expensive)))). And a waste of time.
The length of the canyon is approximately 700-800m. A lot of ladders, multi-level passages, observation decks. The highlight is the hanging platform.
For impressionable people - an excellent attraction. There is no infrastructure other than security.
There is a cafe at the exit of the canyon. Further along the flat area to the lower office and then past the toilet up the familiar path we go to the upper parking lot.
The hike is quite physically expensive. Especially the approaches to the canyon. The presence of benches helps a lot. Evaluate your strength correctly. Choose shoes.There are a lot of people walking up and down on the trail.
An interesting object. I recommend.

We visited Okatse Canyon with friends, and we have a variety of impressions. This is a great place for hiking and extreme sports enthusiasts. It didn't seem particularly scary or dangerous to us, but the nature here is really amazingly beautiful. In order to get to the observation deck, you need to walk about one and a half kilometers from the entrance, including stairs and steep trails. The view from the height is impressive, really breathtaking in its beauty.

The place is very beautiful, but the question is about the organization of this place... Why does a good road go only to the place where you buy an entrance ticket to this canyon, and you still have to walk to it in the heat, if it's summer, 40 minutes. Or are you offered a ride by local reckless drivers for GEL 80 in 5 minutes. There and back. It turns out that the cost of this place increases significantly!

Payment in one place, entrance in another (3km on foot). You can drive your own car, but on a very steep road, or take a taxi driver. While we were asking the administrator about how to get there, she took our money and punched the tickets when we started to refuse them, because we decided not to waste time, plus it was already an hour and a half before closing. They refused to refund the money (ticket 20 GEL per person)

Worthy of a visit! The canyon itself is fabulously beautiful. respect to the installers of the trail! The trail is a metal structure on cables and supports. it swings if you keep up (resonance, you know), but it is stable. I won't talk about the species, you need to feel it yourself. It is a very difficult road from the ticket offices and parking to the canyon itself. about 2.5-3 km. there is a steep path from the mountain through a humid but shady forest. sweat does not evaporate, the T-shirt is soaked through with sweat. It is worse to go back, because a steep, protracted climb is added to the heat and humidity. Affigenic load on the heart and joints. TAKE TICKETS FROM THE PARKING LOT in advance. someone wrote that you can only pay with a card. lie. cash is ACCEPTED at the cash desk, we simply do not have cashless payments physically. there is no tap water anywhere along the route, either take it with you, or from streams. parking for motorists - do not park on the site at the ticket offices, the sun will heat up the interior so that you will not be able to sit. you can drive into the forest under the trees, the path is just below the parking lot, the locals do so. I don't know about security, maybe someone was unlucky. I still had a laptop in my car, a Canon 60D camera (heavy, I didn't want to carry it on myself), a video camera, a quadcopter, and walkie-talkies. maybe I was lucky, but everything is in place, there were no attempts to break in.

It is well organized. Balconies, railings, observation bridges. But the canyon itself was not impressed. If only by the height of the observation decks.

We love this canyon very much, the road to it is especially beautiful. Nature, air, atmosphere, the place is very beautiful, calm, peace, saturation... Thank you for beautifying such a place...

Ognishche!!!
Who is afraid of heights - do not even climb.
If you have time, it is better to walk to the canyon from the tour center with tickets. But at the exit from the trail, take a taxi back, but for no more than GEL 15 per person...

If you went to Georgia by car and saw the Georgian military road, then you don't need to go there. It's just boring

If you're going to the canyon, this is the place for you. The navigator will lead to the observation deck, where payment is made only by cards. From this point, you can either walk 30 minutes to the canyon, or by car (I think you can use your own)

Do not immediately take a taxi at the entrance. Start a walking route and in 100-150 meters taxi drivers will be 2 times cheaper, we were on August 23, round trip for 60 Larry. The canyon itself is not straight wow (if you have been to Dagestan, then it is definitely not surprising for you). It's worth visiting in a complex walk, going there just for the sake of it, definitely not

The height takes your breath away.
I decided to go on my own to the canyon from the lower parking lot, but after 500 meters I got up, the road there is very dead, I could only drive a jeep with high clearance, I didn't dare to drive a Toyota Highlander, I think I would have driven, but I would have hooked the thresholds and the bottom anyway.

You can walk to the right of the tourist center and exit onto a free trekking trail, cast in concrete, which leads along a picturesque route to the place where the paid suspension trail from the grid begins, where it is impossible to walk if you are afraid of heights. The view from it is about the same as just driving along the road

The place is beautiful, but you need to consider your capabilities (physical) and temporary. If everyone is on their feet, then 4 hours is a minimum of walking stops from and to... and there are a lot of steps. But you can use the services of a jeep and you will be taken. The place is a must-visit!

I think it is definitely worth visiting this place if you come to Georgia and are in Batumi/Kutaisi/Kobuleti. Very high, scary, but no less beautiful. It's fascinating!

Beauty!) it is very high and scary when the suspension bridge swings. The road to the canyon seemed hard to us, but the way back was even worse))) they didn't take a taxi

A huge canyon and a view thanks to the fact that the entire suspended, safe path was abruptly arranged from grilles, railings, ladders, cables. Tons of metal. A wonderful social project

It's decent to walk, but it's definitely worth it to breathe in the mountain air!

First you need to go here for entrance tickets, and then only to the observation deck!
The road to the canyon itself is not easy, especially in the rain. There is a delivery service to the canyon near the ticket offices, mainly on Mitsubishi Delica, Pajero

You can get to the payment point by any car. But if you plan to go to the canyon, then you should not drive your car. I recommend using the services of taxi drivers who will meet you there. There were three of us, I agreed for 50 GEL.
