rjaparidze Says: Vardzia in my opinion is one of the must sees in Georgia. The negative side of visiting Vardzia is its distant location. The rock-hewn monastery is located on the left bank of the Mtkvari River, 30km away from Aspindza, in southern Georgia. It is cut in steep cliff along...

We met some rangers at the park, here is what they told us:
The one day rout recommended by the park administration (1 then 6) is approximately 12-14 km. 1 until it changes in to 6 is 7-8 km. The steep climb is about half an hour long. The total walking upwards time is approximately 2.5 hours.
The rangers hut is better than the shelter, it can contain up to 12 persons and there are matrases there so you can sleep comfortably. You should take the food with you though.
Here is a price list which I received from the park:
