How to get there
The canyon is 103 km from Tbilisi, about two hours by car. The easiest way on your own is a car with a driver for the round trip - the price is per car, and the driver waits at the canyon. Driving yourself? Coordinates and a route are below.
From Tbilisi 103 km, about 2 hours
The road climbs via Tetritskaro to the Tsalka plateau, with hairpins for the last kilometres and fog in the hills. Minibuses only go to Tsalka, 3 km from the canyon, and return early.

Where Dashbashi Canyon is
Dashbashi Canyon is the gorge of the Khrami river by the village of Dashbashi in Tsalka municipality, Kvemo Kartli. It lies 103 km south-west of Tbilisi - about two hours by car via Tetritskaro. The small town of Tsalka is 3 km away.
The canyon, about 8 km long, is cut into a lava plateau: basalt walls with a river and forest at the bottom. The plateau sits at 1,100-1,450 m, so it is noticeably cooler than Tbilisi. The canyon is a protected natural monument of 669 hectares.
The glass Diamond Bridge
The 240-metre bridge across the canyon opened in June 2022 and hangs about 280 m above the floor of the gorge. In the middle hangs the "diamond" - a glass pavilion with a glass-floored viewing deck below and a bar with all-round views above. The bridge floor is partly glass: transparent panels alternate with ordinary decking.
Walking the bridge is included in the entry ticket; drinks at the bar, the swing over the cliff and the cable bike over the canyon are paid separately.
The waterfall trail and the Weeping Wall
From the visitor centre a 1.8 km trail drops to the bottom of the canyon: metal stairs first, then a steep path and boardwalks with railings along the river. At the bottom dozens of thin streams run down a mossy rock into a turquoise pool - the Weeping Wall, fed by springs seeping straight out of the basalt.
Allow about an hour and a half there and back; the way back is uphill all the time. The park also drives visitors down for an extra fee, which is not published. Visitors must be at least 1.2 m tall for the trail, and pets are not allowed.
When to go
The canyon is open all year. April to June is the greenest time, July and August are the busiest, September and October are warm and quiet. In winter the park opens on dry days, but the stairs get slippery. The bridge and trail close in rain, snow and thick fog - call the visitor centre before you go: +995 32 288 0505.
What to see nearby
Lake Bareti is on the same plateau, and the ruins of Samshvilde and Algeti National Park are on the way from Tbilisi.
