I'll start with a good one, the place is beautiful. Not only can you wander here, but you can sit on a bench (unfortunately alone) and admire the Alazani Valley. You can get there by taxi, car or will be taken on an excursion to the foot of the mountain. About once every 60 minutes, there is a single bus that takes you up the serpentine to the temple itself. It takes 15 minutes to go up, 15 minutes down, and 30 minutes to see the sights. The ticket for one person is 3 GEL. There must be at least 10 people in order for the bus to go. We were there in the morning and didn't see any people, so we had to buy the rest of the seats to buy the bus. Many people, especially young people who save money, walk. They climbed for about 1 hour, with a brisk step. It doesn't seem to be far away, but there is a steep mountain along the serpentine. No one forbids walking. If an excursion arrives, they calculate the seats and do not get hooked on them. From above, there is a wonderful view of the entire Alazani Valley. We were in May 2025 at about 10 a.m., nothing was working, one watchman was peacefully wandering between the buildings and that was it. The bad news is that there is no infrastructure, even down at the entrance. No coffee/tea, no food. Rustic toilet - a hole in the floor. There are many stray dogs roaming here and all over Georgia.

The temple is located on a mountain, you can climb Monastyrsky (?) by bus, but we walked 1.4 km along the road, the height is like a 70-storey building. The monks are strict, but when they realized that we were interested, they told us about the history of the temple, some icons and murals. Surprisingly, there were a lot of locals and they were tourists, because there were several notes and everything was in Russian. The temple is very ancient, the murals are not being restored, but I personally recommend a visit.

A fortress temple lost in the distance with incredible energy. It just makes you want to stop and spend the night hahaha We walked up for a long time, we were very tired, but it's worth it. If you don't arrive as late in the evening as we did, then maybe someone helps you and takes you to the top. I highly recommend visiting
