If you have time, stay overnight in one of these six tourist bungalows on the banks of the Alazani River. Each has three single beds, electricity and a bathroom with a hot shower. You're a long way from civilisation here! There's a drinking-water well but bring mosquito repellent as well as food. Make reservations at the Visitors Centre in Dedoplis Tskaro.
