Mt Urta rises outside Zugdidi and is known for caves, waterfalls, and mountain streams. The area is more rugged than the palace-and-garden circuit in town, and it suits travellers who want a nature outing in Samegrelo.
The Pokori River waterfalls are the main draw, with pools where people swim in warm weather. Go with local advice on access and conditions, since trails and river crossings can vary by season.
