Why go

Mtirala National Park was established in 2007 in the Kobuleti, Khelvachauri and Keda municipalities of Adjara, about 30 km from Batumi. The national tourism administration gives around 4,250 mm of precipitation a year, which is where the name, the 'weeping mountain', comes from. The park's visitor centre, with exhibition and presentation halls, is in the village of Chakvistavi and helps arrange guides, horses and local transport. Marked trails are laid out as one- or two-day routes, with a tourist shelter 9 km from the start of the trail and picnic and camping places; a lake and the Tsablnari waterfall are the usual goals. The Kintrishi-Mtirala area is a component of UNESCO's Colchic Rainforests and Wetlands. The park recommends spring, summer and early autumn.
