Climbing In "Tbilisi Botanical Garden"

The sector located in the Tbilisi Botanical Garden is a wonderful place to spend quality time and gain new climbing experience.

The climbing sector located in the Tbilisi Botanical Garden is one of the most historical and significant climbing spots in Georgia. Its history dates back to the 1970s, and to this day, it holds a special place within the Georgian climbing community.


This sector is particularly well-suited for beginner and intermediate climbers.

Route

The sector supports both lead climbing and top-roping. Lead climbing routes range from 12 to 14 meters in height, while top-rope routes reach up to 28 meters.

How to get there

The sector is accessible via the entrance near Narikala Fortress (by the Mother of Georgia monument). Once inside the Botanical Garden, follow the trail toward the former Institute of Botany, which leads directly to the crag.


IMPORTANT NOTICE!

As of early 2026, the administration of the Tbilisi Botanical Garden has tightened access policies for the climbing sector. Access to the crag is now restricted to members of the United Alpine Federation of Georgia and partner climbing clubs. All other visitors must submit a formal written request to the Botanical Garden administration to obtain entry.

Best time to visit

Climbing in the Botanical Garden is possible year-round. During the summer, the best time to climb is in the early morning or late afternoon (after 5:00 PM) when the crag is in the shade.


In contrast, during the winter, the ideal time is from morning until 3:00 PM, when direct sunlight warms the rock face.
