A dark, mysterious, adrenaline-filled journey into the forgotten Soviet underworld.

Step far away from the usual tourist paths and plunge into the hidden world beneath Georgia’s surface—an enormous network of abandoned bunkers, fallout shelters, secret tunnels, and forgotten Soviet-era facilities. This exclusive experience blends urban exploration, Cold War history, and raw adventure as you navigate eerie corridors once sealed from the public.

Tour Overview

The Soviet Underground Passages Hunting Tour is designed for travelers who seek:

• Unknown historical sites

• Secret military tunnels

• Abandoned bunkers & command posts

• Cold War relics sealed for decades

• Adrenaline-fueled exploration

Every site is legally accessible, carefully selected, and accompanied by professional guides specializing in urban archaeology and underground security.

Day 1 — Hidden Tbilisi: The Capital Beneath the Capital

Begin your journey by descending into the secret Soviet bunkers of Tbilisi:

• Abandoned air-raid shelters from the 1950s

• Subterranean communication tunnels used by the KGB

• Forgotten metro extensions and half-built passages

• Rusted doors, gas masks, propaganda posters

With powerful flashlights and safety gear, you walk through kilometers of quiet, dripping corridors, listening to stories of espionage, paranoia, and Cold War life.

Evening briefing: maps, photos, and the plan for deeper exploration.

Day 2 — Mtskheta Underground Command Center

Travel to a remote Soviet facility hidden in the mountains near Mtskheta:

• A collapsed missile-tracking bunker

• Labyrinths of reinforced concrete

• Emergency escape shafts

• Rooms filled with old equipment, control panels & Cyrillic markings

Your guide shares declassified documents revealing why this region held strategic Soviet value. You will explore multiple levels of subterranean tunnels, some stretching hundreds of meters into the rock.

Picnic on the hillside above the bunker—quiet, peaceful, and a dramatic contrast to the darkness below.

Day 3 — Underground Military Hospital & Tunnel Network

Today’s exploration focuses on a massive Soviet-era underground hospital, once prepared to treat soldiers in case of nuclear war:

• Dormitories carved into stone

• Operating rooms left frozen in time

• Emergency power generators

• Escape corridors leading into the forest

This is one of the most atmospheric and emotionally striking parts of the tour.

Optional add-on: spelunking extension into natural caves that connect to the Soviet tunnel system.

Day 4 — Rustavi Industrial Underground Maze

Rustavi’s Soviet industrial zone hides a complex network of:

• Chemical plant bunkers

• Pipe tunnels large enough to walk through

• Abandoned workshops and storage vaults

• Underground ventilation systems

This area feels like a post-apocalyptic movie set. You’ll hunt for rare graffiti from the 1980s, explore machinery rooms buried in dust, and follow tunnels that disappear beneath factories.

Evening: Soviet-style dinner in a retro canteen.

Day 5 — The Ultimate Challenge: The 
Secret Mountain Bunker

Your final descent leads to one of the largest and most remote Soviet mountain bunkers in the Caucasus:

• Multiple access shafts

• A central command room with massive steel blast doors

• Old maps, wires, and Soviet signage

• Total silence… except your echo

With your guide, you’ll piece together the bunker’s original purpose—early warning station? Missile communication hub? Underground shelter for high-ranking officers? Each visitor finds their own narrative within its shadows.

Farewell dinner with stories, photos, and certificates for completing the Soviet Underground Hunter Tour.
