Jinvali Water Reservoir, Tbilisi, Georgia

4.5 (498 reviews) Spent 1-2 hours Ranking #8 in Tbilisi Bodies of Water

Stunning View

The Jinvali water reserve is an amazing place to visit both in the winter & in the spring. The unrestricted large view of the reservoir is breathtaking. During my visit, there was a gust of strong winds which made it difficult for people to operate the shops at the joint. Some people's goods even flew into the air. I hope that these stalls are moved away a little bit from the main attraction so that the calmness can be enjoyed.

    Nice setting
    The concrete arch dam is worth seeing. There is a good viewing point close to the parking area. During our visit, the water level was quite low as much of the snow had yet to melt.

    Beautiful and serene
    Located on the military highway north of Tbilisi, the reservoir was created in the Soviet era by constructing a dam on the Aragvi river. The W-shaped reservoir provides drinking water to Tbilisi and the nearby dam generates hydroelectric power. Both get their name from the nearby city of Jinvali which was an important trading city in the ancient times. The reservoir is beautiful and serene with turquoise blue waters. It offers many photo opportunities. Creation of the reservoir submerged many ancient archaelogical sites and as per our guide, the tops of some of these are still visible when the water level is low. A fortress complex is situated on the banks of the reservoir and there is a small tourist oriented market across the road. The reservoir is beautiful and definitely worth a visit.
