Balda Canyon
ბალდის კანიონი
A lesser-known canyon near Martvili where a chain of blue-green pools and waterfalls can be explored on foot or enjoyed in the water, with Oniore Waterfall nearby.
Balda Canyon lies in the mountains about 5 km north of Martvili Canyon. The upper reaches of the Abasha River have carved a narrow gorge with rock walls, and the water takes on a blue-green hue. Trails run along the canyon with walkways and lookout points. The nearby Oniore Waterfall and Balda Monastery can easily be visited on the way. It is less crowded than Martvili Canyon and is good for summer swimming (the water is cold, so take care). Access requires a private car or hired vehicle, and the entrance fee is low.
