Udabno Photos: Georgia's Semi-Desert
A few weeks ago (as of this posting) I visited the small Georgian town of Udabno, located in the arid southeast of the country, near the Azeri border. The town is on the way to the better known cave-monastery historic site David Gareji, and is frequently used as a stopping point for travelers en route. As a result, there are several cafes, guest houses, and most prominently, a Polish hostel, Oasis Club. The town itself is very small, probably just a few hundred inhabitants, and looks like a mini oasis surrounded by barren land. Most of the locals there are farmers, and animals like cows, pigs, goats, chickens, and horses can be seen roaming around day and night. For me, I stayed at a guest house called Naili, run by a really nice local woman who treated me to the biggest breakfast I’ve ever received. Here are some of the pictures.
