Heli-biking in Mtskheta-Mtianeti

Heli-biking is a form of active recreation that entails flying to the mountains in a helicopter and then cycling down. Bikers attach their bikes to the outer part of the helicopter and take it up to a predetermined mountain. Heli-biking has grown in popularity over the years and more routes are added to promote the emerging sport. Although it is primarily done on hiking paths, more separate paths for heli-biking are being created.
