[edit][add listing] Do

Visit the Borjomi Kharagauli national park, the largest national park in Georgia [1] by going to the administration of the office, which is a bit to the west of Borjomi (23 Meskheti str.), and get a free day pass there. For a few lari you can buy a map of the area with all the routes and shelters as well.

If you want to take a hike in the national park, get enough supplies, water, and some basic sleeping gear with you, as the cabins are very basic. It is also to take a one day hike from Borjomi to Qvabiskhevi (or the other way around) and than take a local bus or taxi back to Borjomi. It is also possible to take multiple day hikes. That way you get to go to the higher parts (up to 2600 meters).
