Sajari Waterfall
Sajari Waterfall sits in the forested hills of Kakheti, between the villages of Gremi and Eniseli. It is a small, accessible cascade with clear pools, mossy rocks and cool shade, ideal for a short walk and a refreshing stop on a Kakheti road trip.
Why Visit Sajari Waterfall & What to Expect
The site is quiet, easy to reach and visually pleasing without a long trek. Water drops over layered rock into a shallow basin where visitors often paddle in summer. The surrounding forest stays green from late spring to early autumn, and the sound of the water makes it a calm picnic spot. Expect a short forest trail, slippery stones near the fall, and limited facilities.

How to Get There & Road Conditions

A sedan can manage in dry weather if driven slowly; after heavy rain a 4x4 is safer. Park near the trailhead and continue on foot.
