Tour program along the route Tbilisi – Kazbegi passes through the Georgian Military Road. First stop for Jinvali reservoir viewing and photographing is considered to be one of the most beautiful places in Georgia. Turquoise glaze of the reservoir spread out between the mountain peaks is unusually picturesque at any time of year. On the bank of Jinvali reservoir there is located the object of interest - the medieval fortress "Ananuri" built in the XVI-XVII centuries around the previously constructed five-storey watch tower of the XIV-XV century. And in turn there is Gudauri - one of the most popular ski resorts in the Caucasus. Georgian Military Road is known for its viewing platforms which afford a breathtaking view of the peaks of the Greater Caucasus. "Friendship Arch" - a monument erected in 1983 on Cross Pass (height over 2.3 km). Monument was erected in honor of the Russian and Georgian people’s friendship by the two hundredth anniversaries.
