Gveleti Waterfall — hero

Kazbegi Hike: Gveleti Glacier Waterfall

Didn't make it to Juta, so I did a last-minute search and found a waterfall route nearby. Turned out to be a good find, small but nice. Maybe ten-something minutes driving to the entrance, and there's a paid parking lot right there, 5 lari.

Study Geology

The whole path is basically gravel washed out by rain, following the stream upstream. Snow mountain behind you, forest, flowing water, and some late-spring plum blossoms on the cliff in front of us. Right as we were heading up, clouds happened to cover the body of the mountain, so only the peak was floating up there in the air.
