One of Tbilisi’s favourite natural parks, the National Botanical Garden of Georgia, will soon offer visitors new adventure routes, cycling and hiking trails and renovations in the Tsavkisistskali River gorge.

Tbilisi City Hall announced the Tsavkisistskali River gorge development project today, which will be completely financed by the Cartu Charity Foundation - a charity fund established and financed by Georgian tycoon and former Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili.

The Tsavkisistskali River gorge is partly located in the National Botanical Garden of Georgia, while the other part is located in the Bath District (Abanotubani) of Tbilisi’s Old Town.

Thanks to the project, the botanical gardens will have an alternate entrance where parking will be arranged. Also, amateur cyclists will be able to ride four kilometers in the beautiful gorge, in the city centre”, said Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze.

The arrangement of the adventure route in the Tsavkisistskali River gorge and the use of its potential is one of the recommendations of international experts, which is included in the National Botanical Garden of Georgia development strategy.
