Udabno village located in the middle of Georgian desert

Udabno in Georgian means - Desert.  The village was built in middle 80s during Soviet times,

for the eco-migrants settled there from mountainous Svaneti region.

It’s separation from other settlements, the close location with Davit-Gareji monastery,

and specific character of the proud Svan people creates a micro-world that definitely worth to explore











Udabno, Georgia

 During Soviet Georgia days, Udabno was closed village and no entrance was allowed here without special permit.

At the place where there is a city name plate, there was a check point with guarded solders.

Udabno hostel 

Seems there is a new sheriff in town - some Polish guy has opened here a hostel and restaurant.

Great idea, as polish tourists are not rare in Georgia.
