Georgia Nature




1. Such scenery we enjoyed when we were from Batumi to Tbilisi on the "low road."








 Paradise.





 Poor little live here .  Damage to the mountain bus.





Now and then to meet us across the hay trucks and herdsmen with cows.









 Of all the vehicles in the convoy was the most voracious Niva. Had to arrange it refueled in the harsh mountain conditions. In other gasoline engines was enough to get to "civilization."





How many cans you pour? When we are at night throughout the column down from the mountains and stopped at the first decent dressing, Georgian operator on a column, looking at our cars, said that it is better to pass another mile to the next gas station - where gasoline is better.







The cabin crammed five people, and a further three extremals bumps jump in the hay.







 Beauty ...










The higher we climbed the mountain, the worse the road, impoverished villages and dryahleli home.



 The pass - 2031 meters.



Asphalt was not put to the Soviet times.



And this is the other mountains - dawn on the way home from Tbilisi to the Upper Lars.















Cross pass through the Greater Caucasus Mountains. Высота 2379 метров. Height of 2379 meters.



 Here once drove Pushkin, Griboyedov, Lermontov.



 Tiles on the observation deck.



 Drawings - my age.






 Avalanche tunnels in the gorge. In the summer you can drive around the tunnels along the wall (the road on the left.)










Village Gergeti and handsome five thousand meters Kazbek. It was here that take a picture for the cover of the magazine "Auto Review".








 The eastern five thousand meters of the Caucasus







 Until Russia only a couple of kilometers.





Goodbye, Georgia!  I will definitely come back here!




The Georgian Customs' Dariali "in Daryal Gorge see the ruins of the old castle of the Queen Tamara.



The North Ossetia and Kabardino-Balkaria, we passed very quickly (not counting the seven stops DPSnikami).There was nothing to photograph.
