       Embracing Tsalka – Georgia’s Most Hidden Treasure

      Extinct volcanic plateaus, piercing canyons, several lakes, and 
ancient petroglyphs, make up surreal landscapes of Tsalka municipality. And 
to inspire your travels to this almost hidden gem of the country, Red Fedora 
Diary – Travel Blog compiled some of the most astonishing sights for you to 
see in Tsalka and its neighboring towns.



      However, before we go into details of the Tsalka travel guide, it’s 
important to understand the area’s culture and history. Bordering Armenia 
and Turkey, this southern region of Georgia is the most diverse area in 
terms of population and nature. Ethnic minorities of Greeks, Armenians, 
Azerbaijanis, Georgians, and Russians make up the population here. The 
Georgian ethnic group consists of eco-migrants from Adjara and Svaneti 
regions, giving a visitor the possibility to experience the cultures of all 
these groups in one place.



      With harsh weather climate, lack of infrastructure, limited public 
transportation, and social institutions, the majority of villages of the 
area seem almost abandoned by the rest of the country. Population decreases 
each year, while youngsters flock to the capital and stay there. Cold 
winters and relatively long warm seasons are typical to this area, with the 
average temperature being 16 C in July and -4.8 C in January. However, in 
even higher elevation villages, summers are short and cool, while winters 
are very cold and long. Therefore, the best time to visit Tsalka and its 
neighboring regions in June and July.



      The main income source for most families is agriculture. The soil here 
is rich in nutrients, especially nitrogen, making lands here very fertile. 
The primary activity of farmers here is potato growing, followed by grains 
such as wheat, barley, beans, oats, corn, and peas. Livestock and 
bee-keeping are also sources of income for some families.

ENPARD supported Media tour organized by CENN in Tsalka municipality.
