Dedoplistsqaro Samukhi Mijniskure Vashlovani Signagi Dedoplistsqaro Samukhi Mijniskure Vashlovani Signagi We will pick you up in Tbilisi and drive to Dedoplistsqaro, to get the permit to travel in this area. We will break for lunch and purchase the food we will need the next days, before we head in the direction Samukhi area via the Pantichara Canyon. We will drop in on one of the farms near our cottage, where we will get the horses we will need the next days from the relatives of our driver. You will gain some impression of the daily life of the shepherds. Driving distance: 350 km We will load our horses and ride to Mijnis Kure and the Alazani river. Its a very beautiful area, and perfect for riding our horses. Distance: 20 kilometer. We will ride to the main ranger station, through a landscape reminiscent of Africa - I almost expect elephants or giraffes to cross our path. We’ll break for lunch halfway up on our way to the ranger station on a platform where you get a far view of the area. Distance: 19 km. We will ride back to our starting place, return the horses, spend more time with the shepherds and watch them work. Distance is about 18 kilometer. We will drive back towards Tbilisi with a stop in Signagi, a town in Georgia's easternmost region of Kakheti. We’ll continue to Signagi, a town in Georgia's Easternmost region of Kakheti. Although it is one of Georgia's smallest towns, Signagi serves as a popular tourist destination due to its location at the heart of Georgia's wine-growing regions, as well as its picturesque landscapes, pastel houses and narrow, cobblestone streets. Located on a steep hill, Signagi overlooks the vast Alazani Valley, with the Caucasus Mountains visible at a distance. We’ll have lunch in Signagi. We will then return to Tbilisi. Driving distance: 300 km maximum. This tour is perfect from December until the end of April I hope you enjoyed reading the tour description, I tried long to find the perfect design, but please don’t judge so hard on me, English is not my native language, friends helped me proofreading. Same goes for the design, I am not professional designer either, just did it in a way I thought I would enjoy to read. I added mostly my own photos which are mostly unedited. Due to the fact I havent taken photos everywhere, I used photos of friends as well, not downloaded ones..

  • GEORGIA Second Edition March 2010
    WHO DOES WHAT WHERE IN DISASTER RISK REDUCTION IN GEORGIA Second edition March 2010 Georgian National Committee of Disaster Risk Reduction & Environment Sustainable Development FOREWORD Georgia is a highly disaster-prone country, which frequently experiences natural hazards (e.g. earthquakes, floods, landslides, mudflows, avalanches, and drought) as well as man-made emergencies (e.g. industrial accidents and traffic accidents). Compounding factors such as demographic change, unplanned urbanization, poorly maintained infrastructure, lax enforcement of safety standards, socio-economic inequities, epidemics, environmental degradation and climate variability amplify the frequency and intensity of disasters and call for a proactive and multi-hazard approach. Disaster risk reduction is a cross-cutting and complex development issue. It requires political and legal commitment, public understanding, scientific knowledge, careful development planning, responsible enforcement of policies and legislation, people-centred early warning systems, and effective disaster preparedness and response mechanisms. Close collaboration of policy-makers, scientists, urban planners, engineers, architects, development workers and civil society representatives is a precondition for adopting a comprehensive approach and inventing adequate solutions. Multi-stakeholder and inter-agency platforms can help provide and mobilize knowledge, skills and resources required for mainstreaming disaster risk reduction into development policies, for coordination of planning and programmes,
