The route starts from the road connecting Daba Khulo and Gordzhomi village, at the turn to Mintadzeebi village. The route follows an asphalt road, and Mintadzeebi village is located approximately 2 kilometers from the mentioned turn. After passing through Mintandzeebi village, the road surface changes to dirt and goes through a forested area. Here you will need an off-road vehicle.

After driving 8 kilometers, you will reach the valley of the Chudurouli River, a spacious plain that has been a venue for various events for many years. Herders from Ajara, as well as from neighboring regions of Adigeni and Guria in Georgia, gather here for holidays. Local residents call this place Chudurouli.

From Chudurouli, the road follows the riverbank to the northwest. The pedestrian trail passes through wooded areas. Along the way, you will encounter a signpost, from where you will again follow the riverbank to the northwest and continue your journey along an old road to yayla Dzhandzhgnari.

Upon reaching the yayla, you will follow the road westward and reach a pass where the pedestrian trail intersects with a dirt road for off-road vehicles. The road goes east towards yayla Leknari, through a place called "Bodishi," and then joins a dirt road connecting the village of Gordzhomi and the resort of Bakhmaro. To the north, the trail leads to Mount Tbiseri.

From here, southeast leads you onto a trail that goes towards Mount Satseravi, which ascends first to Mount Tbiseri and then to Karchkhlikapani. You will cross the mountain through alpine meadows and descend to a pass where you'll see a highway. To the northeast, the road leads to the Dzhandzhgnari yayla, and to the east, along the highway to the Leknari yayla to the east and continues southeast to Chudurouli. From Chudurouli, a dirt road leads into the forest, which will take you to Mintadzeebi village.
