Rafting in Georgia
X-Park Pshavi
X-Park Pshavi is located in an idyllic forested valley in the Greater Caucasus mountain range in Mtskheta-Mtianeti Region of Georgia. The cosy camp nestles on a wooded bank of Pshavis Aragvi River just before it flows into the radiant emerald lake of Zhinvali Reservoir.
X-Park is not just a campsite but it is also a fun-filled picnic spot and the base for rafting, kayaking, hiking tours as well as zipline, rope park and a general adventure centre. With its unique concept of active recreation and promotion of local rural development it is the first of its kind in Georgia.
They offer scheduled activities like hiking tours, astronomy night, rafting gatherings and so on, as well as private activities on demand.
Set within just 60 km distance from Tbilisi (1h drive), the center is equally suitable for a day’s outing or a relaxed weekend in the mountains or makes a perfect stopover on a multiple day tour into the Kazbegi Region (Stepantsminda / Mt Kazbek) and Khevsureti (Shatili). To reach the Center, please follow the description (add link to description and map under Contacts) or the coordinates GPS 42°13’13.80″N / 44°49’55.60
The descent down the whitewaters in inflatable boats is a fun sport that attracts more and more people across the world and is well established in Georgia for more than 10 years. Rafting Tours are carried out on the river Pshavis Aragvi (15 km, 1h30min, cat. II-III), a tour with moderate difficulties that is enjoyable for everyone but nevertheless presents sufficient action to get splashed and be thrilled. The finish / take out is directly at the center .
As you will be accompanied by experienced guides, there are no preconditions concerning physical fitness and you will be equipped with life jackets and helmets to avoid injuries in the rather unlikely event of falling into the water. However, you should know how to swim, be in good health and not be under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Also, it is important to bring sturdy shoes that can handle wetness.
