Algeti National Park

Algeti National Park is a protected area in eastern Georgia covering forested valleys and mountain slopes at varying elevations. The landscape combines dense woodland, alpine meadows, and rocky peaks, with streams and ridges that create multiple hiking routes.

The park was established in 1965 to protect native conifer species including Caucasian Spruce and Nordmann Fir trees. These forests represent an important botanical zone in the Caucasus region.

Local people visit the park especially in fall to gather mushrooms and forest products, following customs tied to this region.

The administration center in Manglisi offers maps and guidance for various walking routes suited to different fitness levels. Wear sturdy footwear and bring plenty of water, especially during warmer months.

Mount Kldekari within the park holds ancient defensive structures and offers broad views across the surrounding mountains. Many visitors overlook that this peak serves both as an archaeological site and a natural viewpoint.
