Nestled in the vast landscapes of Eastern Georgia, the Rainbow Mountains are a sight to behold. These multicoloured ridges, often compared to a painter's palette, display a dazzling array of hues ranging from deep reds to vibrant yellows. The unique colouring is a result of mineral deposits and geological processes over millions of years. Located near the David Gareji Monastery, these mountains not only offer an awe-inspiring visual treat but also provide a glimpse into Georgia's rich geological history. As you trek along the paths, the shifting colours of the hills seem to tell a story, making the Rainbow Mountains a must-visit for nature lovers and photographers alike.
