A trip with ‘Rali’, a Georgian bride who was born in Georgia and came to Korea to get married! Really, really! Let’s go meet Georgia.
Kakheti, the jewel of eastern Georgia! A mysterious landscape of deserts, steppes, lush forests, mud volcanoes, fascinating history, and even the best wines of Georgia! The last journey through breathtaking scenery that feels like coming from another planet begins in Tbilisi.
Tbilisi has been a major transportation hub since ancient times, as the saying goes, “Whoever rules Tbilisi rules the Caucasus and the Silk Road!” As a result, it has been invaded countless times, and Georgian dances and songs are full of traces of its fierce history. With the Jvari Monastery as the backdrop, you can feel the spirit of Georgians who did their best to protect their country from powerful countries through the descendants of warriors demonstrating the ancient martial art Khridoli.
Sighnaghi, the representative city of Kakheti, is crowded with weddings on weekends. The person who made Sighnaghi the city of love is Niko Pirosmani, a painter from Kakheti! The story of how he, a poor painter, gave all his wealth to the woman he loved and filled the city with roses is included in the lyrics of the song “A Million Roses”, which we are all familiar with. A street musician who plays “A Million Roses” beautifully reveals that he is a descendant of Pirosmani, but is this true?
Vashlovani National Park, once a vast sea, is one of the most unique protected areas in Georgia. With rare plants, diverse animals, and unique landscapes created by nature! Let’s run through Vasilovani National Park to feel the wild nature with your skin.
To see the wine, the pride of Kakheti, go to the Alaverdi Monastery. The history of Georgian wine is estimated to be over 8,000 years. The Alaverdi Monastery also follows the Qvevri winemaking method, which involves aging wine in jars for over a thousand years. They grow as many as 102 grape varieties and produce wine with a special flavor. Let’s taste the thousand-year-old drops made from Qvevri, which is also listed as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Tusheti, which even locals cannot easily reach! It is an extremely remote place that can only be reached by passing through the so-called ‘Road of Death’. The village where the Zezvaoba summer festival of the Tusheti Tushi tribe is held, the festive atmosphere is heightened by lively music and food… . The atmosphere suddenly changes as the horse race participants appear and a funeral ceremony begins. What on earth is going on? We end our colorful and splendid journey in Georgia in the rainbow-colored desert of Udabno in the east, whose name itself means ‘desert’.
