The Rustavi area, located about 30 minutes from Tbilisi by 4x4, is an excellent and forgiving soaring site, ideal for beginners. This site is particularly popular on good days and weekends. The hill is primarily used for beginner flights but also offers good thermal activity, making it a pleasant spot for a weekend outing. The best time for paragliding here is from May to July. The take-off area is simple and very forgiving, making it suitable for those new to the sport. For more information, you can visit ParaglidingEarth.
