Visit semi arid place such as Chachuna. The Chachuna managed nature reserve is a part of a regioncalled the Iori Upland (200 - 800m) that lies in the far east of Georgia. There are steppes and savannah- like landscapes, arid woodlands and semi- deserts, and an abundance of relic and endemic plant species, birds of prey, and large predators. We should stop on the way for birdwatching. Chachuna is noted for one of the largest communities of breeding birds in the Caucasus.
Riparian forests and grassland provide the habitats for black francolin and a few pairs of black storks. A typical bird of the site is chukar. Large aggregations of European bee- eater, European roller, and Eurasian hoopoes regularly raise their young in cliffs, steep banks and tree holes. The stunning list of passerines to be found at the site includes calandra lark,crag martin, rufous- tailed scrub robin.
