Adjarian Yaylas on the road to Green Lake

Green Lake – Green Lake, a lake in the municipality of Kulo, near Goderdzi pass, 2058 meters above. 5-6km jeep trail starts at local shop of Goderdzi Pass 2000m from the sea level. From there it’s just 1 or 1.5 hour to walk passing through Adjarian summer settlements. You can meet locals, try their food, enjoy views on the way to lake. The road is enjoyable and easy for anyone.

At the end the settlements end and the road goes down in the field, then to the lake which has natural green color. Nice places to take photos, relax, swim if there is no fog which often accompanies hikes here. Generally its a nice lake which should be included in any jeep tour or road trip of mountain Adjara.

    Hi Please advise.
    I’m planning to take the Goderzi pass travelling from Tiblisi to Batumi end of June.
    1. is the road safe?
    2. Is a 4×4 required or will a VW polo make it without any significant prblem.
    3. Is the trip a good idea? We only have 7 days in georgia.

      Hi Hans, the road is safe and beautiful! Worth traveling. Very good idea, just visit green lake, makhuntseti waterfall, khulo cable cars;etc and plan longer time not 1 day for the whole road, check weather so its not all foggy (or try morning drive over the pass). Cars – I cant give professional opinion on this car. Jeep is fine, Honda fit or some other asphalt road cars – not fine. If you rent it here avoid taking this car, if its yours then maybe fine if its like golf 3 and u use it like jeep.

    Could you pls tell me if there are marshrutkas from Khulo further to Akhaltsikhe via the pass? I am one person only so it is rather luxurious and expensive to book a tour. And regarding Khulo, is there any other tourist attraction apart from the cablecars with a limited time I have in Georgia.
