“The American publication Daily Beast publishes an article about the sea and mountain resorts of Georgia under the title Georgia Is an Adventure Paradise”, - the National Tourism Administration of Georgia reports.
Reportedly, the publication's journalist Benjamin Kemper traveled to Georgia at the invitation of the National Tourism Administration of Georgia.
The article describes the adventure tourism destination of Georgia.
“For nearly a decade I’ve been visiting Georgia to report on everything from ancient winemaking traditions to blood-curdling ghost towns to the last truly wild place in Europe. But nothing prepared me for what I found when I started researching Georgian adventure travel: Here was a place where you could be jet-skiing in the Black Sea one day and heli-skiing down glaciated peaks the next—all in a country roughly the size of South Carolina. Georgia is one of Europe’s most intriguing outdoor destinations, and nobody seems to be talking about it," - Benjamin Kemper writes.
He says “Jomadia (where I braved my first rapids) sits at the edge of the Borjomi Nature Reserve, a 4,019-square-mile park known for its therapeutic springs and leafy rolling mountains veined with paths ideally suited to mountain biking. The fan favorite is the No. 6 Footprint Trail, which starts in Likani village and climbs some 2,600 feet to a panoramic viewpoint. Before venturing up into the mountains (Georiders will get you sorted) to ride past glaciers in Kazbegi on the Russian border, to take in one of Europe’s oldest settlements in Svaneti in the country’s northwest, or otherwise, consider starting with a dry run in the hills above Tbilisi. A number of easy trails offer splendid views over the city’s conical-domed churches and Soviet-era apartment blocks.
On a mission to change that is Dachi, the snowcock whisperer we met earlier whom you could call Georgia’s premier bird nerd. Dachi spends most of the year on the road leading small groups of hardcore birders, helping them complete their life lists with Georgia’s “Big Five”: Caucasian grouse, great rosefinch, white-winged redstart, mountain chiffchaff, and—yes—those vexingly coy Caucasian snowcocks. Beyond the holy-grail species, there are more than 400 types of birds you can spot in Georgia, and spring is primetime. “This time of year, you can spot up to 200 different species on a single trip,” Dachi told me, adding that visiting bird lovers can help local conservation efforts by monitoring birds with Batumi Raptor Count, an indispensable nonprofit.”
Tusheti, Vashlovani National Park, horseback riding, centuries-old tradition of winemaking and mountain resorts of Georgia are described in the article: “At Zermatt in Switzerland, a one-day ski pass costs around $100. At Gudauri, Georgia’s most popular ski resort, that ticket will set you back a mere $27. The math doesn’t lie—even when you account for the difference in airfare, Georgia beats the Alps almost every time when it comes to affordable ski vacations. And I don’t know about your après-ski preferences, but I’ll take gooey khachapuri, lavash-swaddled kebabs, and slurpable soup dumplings any day over potatoes and fondue," - Benjamin Kemper writes.
