Why go
A narrow limestone monolith rises abruptly from a wooded valley with a small monastery on top. Ground-level viewpoints show the extraordinary relationship between geology and religious retreat. Spend enough time at Katskhi Pillar to connect the visible structure with its setting; that link carries more value than a quick exterior view.
