Follow the water. Find a different side of Georgia.
From Batumi's rain-rich hills to a mountain cascade in Svaneti, these 20 guides help you choose which waterfalls are worth building a day—or a whole trip—around.
Start with waterfalls near Batumi →
Some cascades sit near a village road. Others are reached through protected forests, gorges or remote mountain terrain. Choose for the experience you want, not simply the height of the falling water—and use each guide's official links before travelling.
From Batumi into Adjara's green valleys
Village waterfalls, old stone bridges and the wet forests of Mtirala. These trips ask for different amounts of time and different shoes.
