About This Tour
Dashbashi Canyon is one of Georgia's newest and most spectacular attractions — a place where modern engineering meets raw natural beauty. The canyon itself is a dramatic gorge carved by the Dashbashi River over millennia, with sheer cliff walls, lush vegetation, and waterfalls cascading into the depths below. It's the kind of place that makes you stop and stare, no matter how many beautiful places you've already seen in Georgia.
The star of the show is the Diamond Bridge — a stunning glass-and-steel structure suspended high above the canyon floor. Walking across it is an experience unlike anything else in Georgia. Below your feet, the canyon drops away dramatically, and the views in every direction are absolutely breathtaking. Whether you're an adrenaline seeker or simply someone who appreciates incredible scenery, the Diamond Bridge delivers a moment you won't forget.
To make the most of the day, we can combine Dashbashi with a visit to nearby Rabati Castle in Akhaltsikhe — a beautifully restored medieval fortress that blends Georgian, Ottoman, and Persian architectural styles. The scenic drive through southern Georgia is an attraction in itself, passing through rolling hills, lush valleys, and charming villages. This tour is perfect for anyone who wants to see a different side of Georgia beyond the usual Tbilisi-to-Kazbegi route.

Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely! The Diamond Bridge was built with modern engineering standards and is completely safe. It has sturdy railings and a transparent glass floor section for the brave. It's designed to hold hundreds of people at once, so there's nothing to worry about.
What if I'm afraid of heights?
The bridge is wide and has solid railings, so many people with mild fear of heights manage just fine. You can walk at your own pace and turn back anytime. There are also plenty of canyon viewpoints that don't require crossing the bridge — the views are spectacular from the rim too.

Yes, there is a small entrance fee for the Dashbashi Canyon complex and Diamond Bridge. The fee is not included in the tour price but is very reasonable. I'll have the latest pricing when we arrive.
Can I combine Dashbashi with other sites?
Yes! Rabati Castle in Akhaltsikhe is nearby and makes a perfect addition — it's included as an optional stop on this tour. We can also visit Vardzia cave monastery or Borjomi on the way. Just let me know your interests.
