Harjinder Singh Kukreja Explores Georgia — A Journey Through Culture, Cuisine, and Connection
Luxury travel visionary and cultural storyteller Harjinder Singh Kukreja recently embarked on a captivating journey across Georgia, invited by the Georgian National Tourism Administration (GNTA) and facilitated by their India partner Think Strawberries. This high-impact collaboration offered a nuanced lens into Georgia’s scenic beauty, historical depth, and timeless hospitality—reshaping its narrative for Indian travellers seeking meaningful international experiences.
Known for his evocative storytelling, Harjinder brought a rare blend of reverence, depth, and cinematic perspective to the Caucasus region—reaching an audience of over 4 million global followers who trust his every step, insight, and frame.
The curated experience was anchored in a seamless itinerary blending reflection, adventure, and emotional resonance. Highlights included:
• A walk through Old Tbilisi, where cobbled alleys, pastel balconies, and murmurs of history framed each moment
• A rejuvenating soak in the legendary sulphur baths of Abanotubani, where centuries of healing tradition still thrive
• A thrilling ride on the Tbilisi and Batumi cable cars, soaring above rivers, red-roofed towns, and the Black Sea coast
• Rafting on the Mtkvari River in Borjomi, surrounded by forested hills and flowing adrenaline
• A serene boat tour in Kolkheti National Park’s Paliastomi Lake, drifting through Georgia’s wild wetlands and tranquil ecosystems
• Ziplining over the Black Sea, merging sea spray and sky for a liberating perspective on Batumi
• A peaceful walk through the Batumi Botanical Garden, overlooking dramatic coastal cliffs
• Time in Kutaisi and Chateau Vartsikhe, where stillness, simplicity, and authenticity enriched the journey
The hospitality experience was shaped by premium stays at the Radisson Blu Iveria in Tbilisi, the tranquil Crowne Plaza Borjomi, and the elegant Hilton Batumi. These spaces offered the right blend of luxury and calm—supporting both creativity and comfort throughout.

One of the most celebrated elements of the journey was Georgia’s culinary heritage. While local favourites like lobio, khinkali, and churchkhela featured warmly, it was the Adjarian khachapuri that stole the spotlight. Served boat-shaped with bubbling cheese and a golden yolk at the centre, it became Harjinder’s enduring favourite. As he described, “Adjarian khachapuri is comfort, celebration, and culture—served hot, with heart.”
Throughout his travels, Harjinder engaged deeply with Georgia’s Christian heritage—visiting cathedrals, roadside chapels, and sacred monuments like the Chronicles of Georgia, a powerful stone tribute to the country’s faith and history. His respectful presence as a devout Sikh created a quiet yet profound interfaith dialogue, subtly echoed across his audience’s response.
This collaboration between GNTA, Think Strawberries, and Harjinder Singh Kukreja reflects a shift in how destinations are presented to Indian travellers—not just through attractions, but through emotion-led storytelling that resonates.

As Harjinder shared, “Georgia doesn’t perform for you. It embraces you. It gives you space to slow down, to listen, to feel.”
From rafting rapids to revering silence in churches, from soaring above cities to sitting by quiet lakes, this journey offered his audience an invitation—not just to visit Georgia, but to feel it.
With each post, reel, and reflection, Harjinder reminded the world that meaningful travel is not always about far-flung glamour. Sometimes, it’s about a bread shaped like a boat, a prayer whispered on a cliff, a bathhouse filled with steam and silence.
For India’s growing community of culture-conscious explorers, Georgia is now not just a destination—but a discovery. And for Harjinder Singh Kukreja, this journey marks the beginning of a lasting relationship with a country that matched his pace, his purpose, and his poetic lens.
