It is surrounded by the wetlands and one of the biggest lakes Paliastomi. The park was established between 1998 and 1999, and the climate there is warm and humid. The main goal of the Nature Reserve is to protect flora and fauna of Kolkheti lowland. The reserve has a priceless scientific-research and historical significance. The landscape of the lowland forests and wetlands is still kept on the territory of Kolkheti National Park. You will also see rare types of trees and animals such as fawn, wild pig, etc. From October 2007, the Colchis ecosystem is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. 

The wetlands and forests of Kolkheti are a reliable shelter for rare species of plants and animals. There is one of the routes for the migrating birds here. Some of the rarest types of birds are staying in this region during the winter before they are ready to migrate. The creation of Kolkheti National Park is connected to a special ecosystem on this territory. Several international organizations have a great role in rescuing the natural habitats of Kolkheti. The combination of wetland landscapes creates the most beautiful picture that can be seen on the Black Sea coast.* *
