Asa Managed Nature Reserve’s area encompasses pristine pine forestlands and marls, and is a permanent dwelling for brown bears, East Caucasian turs, and lynxes—animal species which are included in the Red List of Georgia.
In Asa Managed Nature Reserve, visitors may travel by foot or on horseback for educational and recreational purposes in specially designated places; take photographs and shoot films as well as visually observe the biodiversity objects without disturbing the environment; and stay overnight in specially designated places and shelters.
