About this place
About Balda Canyon
Balda Canyon lies on the Abasha River near Martvili and offers a more adventurous and less-developed alternative to the main Martvili Canyon visitor site.
The area contains forest trails, rocky river sections, waterfalls and designated places where swimming may be possible. Conditions can change with rainfall and river levels, so visitors should seek local guidance and use appropriate footwear. Balda is located approximately a short drive from Martvili Canyon.
