BOKNETI was born from a dream — to create a place where time slows down, nature speaks louder than notifications, and every guest feels like they’ve come home. I'm Nia, the founder of BOKNETI, and for me, this is more than a guesthouse — it's a piece of my heart. I grew up surrounded by stories, strong women, and the quiet wisdom of the mountains. I wanted to share that feeling — of warmth, of connection, of something real — with others. When we found this spot in Dzama Valley, it felt like everything aligned: the forest, the silence, the sky that stretches endlessly. I imagined a space where people from Georgia and around the world could stay not just in nature, but with it. A place where children laugh, friends gather, and ideas are born. Over the years, BOKNETI has welcomed hikers, newlyweds, artists, families, and curious travelers. Some come for rest, some for celebration, some for inspiration — all leave with memories. We’re still growing. Our dream is to turn BOKNETI into a space for learning and sharing — where young people can exchange ideas, and where rural tourism blends with creativity and sustainability. Whether you're visiting for one night or many, we welcome you not just as a guest, but as part of the BOKNETI story. See you in the valley. 🌿 Nia

🌄 Explore Dzama Valley – Nature, History & Serenity. Nestled just 2–3 hrs from Tbilisi, Dzama Valley (Shida Kartli, Kareli region) is a hidden gem of Eastern Georgia. 🛤 Rich Heritage & Monastic Sites - Kintsvisi Monastery (12th‑13th c.) is renowned for its grand brick architecture and stunning medieval frescoes—symbols of Georgia’s Golden Age. The Mzovreti Fortress & Monastery (17th c.) sits atop cliffs overlooking the Dzama River, combining ecclesiastical and defensive design. Other sacred spots include Ortubani, Sarkineti, and the five‑church Kozipa Monastery, part of the valley’s rich spiritual tapestry. 🏞 Natural Wonders & Healing Landscape - Bateti Lake, an alpine landslide lake at 1 313 m, is famed for its tranquil setting and reputed benefits to respiratory and nervous health. Shuano Mountain, peaking at 2 350 m, offers sweeping panoramas of Shida Kartli. A 25 m waterfall near Abukhalo Mountain and mineral‑water gorges like Tkemlovanistskali add to the restorative natural experience. Why Dzama Valley Stands Out Nearly 60 historic monuments are scattered across the valley, offering a seamless blend of spirituality, culture, and architecture. The valley offers easily accessible roads and hiking trails, with many monasteries reachable by car and others via scenic footpaths. It’s a well-loved escape for weekend trips from Tbilisi—ideal for retreats, spiritual journeys, hiking, and family adventures.
