Route description

Likaniskhevi introduces another side of Borjomi: a river valley and wooded slopes beyond the spa promenade. From the Likani area, the walk climbs into the forest of the Chitakhevi ridge before returning to the lower valley. Pause near the river before ascending to appreciate the transition from settlement to national park. Likani’s valley and its woodland form the focus of this outing. Churches and shelters on neighbouring paths require additional approaches, leaving this day free to explore one coherent place.

Route suitability

Кому будет комфортно
Public transport to Borjomi is confirmed; arrange the Likani approach separately. Children need experience of woodland ascents and adult support on wet descents. Official rules prohibit pets. Bicycle permission and reception throughout the walk are unconfirmed.

Nearby

Likani’s Church of the Mother of God and the mountain tourist shelter lie away from the selected passage and need an additional outing. Romanov Palace and Likani’s spa park belong to a separate visit with an access check. Continuing towards Kvabiskhevi or Lomismta creates a different mountain day.

Getting there

Варианты и важные моменты Show on map
Without a car
The official page confirms minibuses from Tbilisi Didube and a railway approach to Borjomi. Check current departures with the operator; arrange the remaining Likani approach independently after registering at the visitor centre.
By car
Begin with mandatory registration at Borjomi Visitor Centre. Agree a Likani-area drop-off and return meeting with the administration or a local driver. Reaching Borjomi by car does not replace walking the forest passage.
Parking
There is no confirmed parking information for this variant’s start. Agree vehicle storage independently with the administration before setting off.

Difficult sections and safety

На что обратить внимание
Elevation gainСуммарный набор высоты — 696 м.
SurfaceТип покрытия пока не определён.
Риски Woodland does not mean a level stroll: expect an uphill section and a careful descent. Roots and earth become slippery after rain. At junctions, avoid substituting longer Lomismta or Kvabiskhevi crossings for this outing; confirm the present direction and restrictions with the administration.

How much time to allow

Оцените свой темп
Time for the route 4–5 h
With stops | 5–6 h This covers the whole selected passage from the Likani entrance area through woodland slopes back to the lower valley. Allow one day of walking with a riverside pause. Travel from Borjomi and separate church or mountain-shelter visits add time. Check access to the complete passage during mandatory registration.

Best time to go

Сезонность и рекомендации
Choose a dry spring, summer or early-autumn day after checking path conditions. Woodland shade is useful in heat, but carry your own water. Snow and ice require another plan even when Borjomi below remains accessible year-round.

What to bring

Базовый список для комфортного похода
Grippy footwear for earth and roots.
Water, food, waterproofs and forecast-appropriate clothing.
An offline map, a daylight reserve and backup power.
