Mtirala National Park, National park in Adjara, Georgia

Mtirala National Park is a protected area of dense forest, river valleys, and waterfalls located between the Black Sea coast and the Adjara Mountains. The park features varied terrain with multiple hiking trails accessible from several entry points throughout the protected zone.

The area was first protected as the Tsiskara Reserve before being reorganised as Mtirala National Park in 2006. In 2021 the park was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as part of the Colchic Rainforests and Wetlands, recognised for its relict forests, wetland ecosystems and biodiversity.

The name Mtirala means "to cry" in Georgian, a reference to the 4,520 mm of rain that falls each year. The park began as the Tsiskara Reserve before becoming a national park, and its beech and chestnut woods with Colchic box and lianas shelter Caucasian salamanders and vipers.

The park is best explored on foot, with information available at visitor centers near the main entry points. Visit during the drier months when trails are more manageable and weather conditions are more favorable for walking.

Each autumn more than a million raptors of 35 species pass over the park along the Batumi bottleneck, among them over half the world's booted eagles and European honey buzzards. The park's relict Colchic forests and wetlands were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2021.
