Mtirala Forest Escape
Trade the city for humid forest, streams and a self-guided walk in Mtirala National Park. The driver waits while you explore marked paths. Wear shoes with grip; the walking plan depends on weather and park access.

- Marked trails and viewpoints — the walking is optional but worth it
- Weather turns faster here than on the coast; a layer and water help
- Your driver stays with the car at the trailhead

Frequent questions
- Is the price per person or per car?
- Per car. A sedan takes up to 4 guests, a minivan up to 7 — nothing is charged per head, so the cost per person falls as your group grows.
- Does the driver come with us to the sights?
- Yes. Your driver stays with you for the whole excursion, walks you to the entrance of each stop and explains what you are looking at. He is a local professional driver, not a certified guide, so you get practical first-hand guidance rather than a scripted tour.
- How do I pay?
- Directly to the driver on the day, normally in GEL cash. No prepayment, no card needed, no booking fee.
- How is the booking confirmed?
- You send a request with your date and group size. OrbiTrip confirms within a few hours on WhatsApp and sends you the driver's name, car and phone number.
- Can I change the stops or the order?
- Yes. The order of stops is yours to change on the day. If you want to add a stop that is not on this page, write it in the request and we confirm the price before the trip.
- What happens if a road is closed?
- Your driver tells you before you set off and proposes an alternative stop of the same kind at the same price.
