Uplistsikhe: Ancient Cave City

Not far from the Georgian town of Gori, there is an ancient stone-cave city called Uplistskhe which, according to an internet search I did about 10 minutes ago, is named after a Caucasian Pagan sun god. Although the city has been abandoned for centuries, it is still a pretty incredibly and complex sight to see. Just one thing to note though, if you plan on travelling there, you can take a marshrutka from Gori's bus station for 1 lari (40 cents) each way. Many taxi drivers will falsely claim that there is no public transportation and will try to charge you 20 lari. Anyway though, since I don't have a good camera at the moment, these pictures were taken by a travel buddy, Daniel, who made the trip a few weeks earlier than me. Hope you enjoy!
