Тропа перевала Зекари

Use google translete, there is problem on the track!
ხალხო სერიოზული პრობლემაა ეს ტრეკი! ამ ტრეკით უკვე 2 ჯგუფი დაკარგულა, ჩვენც ლამის მესამე აღმოვჩნდით!
მეორე, ახალი, ნასაბაჯვარის თავშესაფარიდან გზა წრიულზე აღარ გააგრძელოთ!!! გზა მიდის არსად, მარკირება და ბილიკი წყდება, ვითომ ეშვება ხეობაში, ტყეში! დაკარგავთ საათებს და ენერგიას!

This needs to be updated !

We started our way 1.5 km up from the Didmaghala tourist shelter as we arrived in the early afternoon (you can drive all the way up there) and then walked on the main road, took the second path on the left, in direction of the Nasabajvari shepherd summer cabins. Half-way through you will find the new tourist shelter that has yet to be indicated on a map; it seemed like no one knew about it, even the shepherds (ask the rangers about it though, one of them knew about it!).

On day 2 we lost the way after the new tourist shelter they just built in the middle of the mountain between Didmaghala Tourist shelter and Nasabajvari shepherd summer farms (this new tourist shelter is very nice tho, but we couldn’t find the spring neither, and we were initially told there would be one!).

After this new tourist shelter (not Didmaghala!), in the direction of Nasabajvari sheperd houses, the biggest trail transforms into a very small path on the flank of the mountain. But that’s where this itinerary couldn’t be followed anymore ! We went indeed to the Nasabajvari sheperd house, by a marked trail, and then to the observatory territory near Abastumani (much longer trail than the original trail shown on this map!!). Since the observatory territory was shut-down we had to take a left and then go down 2,5 km to the Agobili part of the village (near the sanatorium). There is fresh spring water and you are near Abastumani.

Also, on the way down the mountain from the Nasabajvari sheperd farm to the observatory/Agobili it is mentionned several times that there is a ranger station nearby. Don’t waste your time as this is an abandonned ranger station and you won’t find any ranger there anymore !

P.S.: Big thanks to the rangers though, they were very helpful when we went lost on the way back to Abastumani (big thanks Lasha and Misha!)

N.B.: You’ll need to speak Georgian if you want to get helped though :)
