Why go
The Diamond Bridge spans Tsalka Canyon, the Khrami river gorge beside Dashbashi village, on a 240-metre glass-floored suspension deck. At mid-span is Diamond 360, a diamond-shaped glass café-bar built into the structure. The bridge belongs to Kass Land, the leisure complex on the canyon rim that runs it alongside other rides, and entry is by ticket from the west rim. The canyon underneath is a separate thing to see: a protected natural monument with its own visitor centre and a 1.8-kilometre path to its waterfalls. Tsalka is about 90 km from Tbilisi.
