Mtirala National Park
მტირალას ეროვნული პარკი
One of the wettest areas of Georgia, with waterfalls, streams, and trails through the Colchic rainforest, about 30 km from Batumi.
In Georgian, Mtirala means 'the weeping mountain.' Annual rainfall can exceed 4,000 mm, making it the wettest region of Georgia. It is part of the Colchic rainforests World Natural Heritage Site. The park has many trails of varying difficulty. The most popular starts at the Chakvistavi visitor center and leads to a waterfall and a lakeside, taking about 3-4 hours round trip. You can also take a car to the waterfall and gorge for lunch. Guesthouses are available beside the visitor center. The paths can be slippery, so wear non-slip shoes.
