Why go
Merisi is a developed waterfall site rather than a wild one: staircases with handrails climb beside the fall, a cable car gives a higher view, and there are rest huts and a café. The walk from the end of the paved road is only about a hundred metres, so the effort lies in the drive — about thirteen kilometres up from Keda. The village also has the Gundauri mineral spring and the ruins of Zendidi fortress nearby, which give a reason to stay longer. GNTA publishes no height for the fall.
