Answer

You can get into the church, which is below at the foot of the Katskhi Pillar. Father Maxim, who lived there, used to allow only men to climb the pillar itself, now it is forbidden for everyone. And, as a rule, they don’t take excursions there. You can just turn to Zestafoni on the way from Kutaisi to Tbilisi and stop by Katskhi.

Individual tours are possible to the Katskhi Pillar, however, the ascent to the temple is prohibited for everyone except the abbot of the temple.
Nevertheless, the energy of this place is felt very strongly below, in addition, there are wonderful landscapes here.

Yes. No one is allowed upstairs. Now the reconstruction is underway, new cells for the monks are being built, but access to the foot, to the chapel below is open. It is 40 kilometers from Zastafoni to Katskhi. It is also better to stop by the city of cable cars Chiatura, take a ride on the "pepelats" and visit the existing cave temple and monastery of the 11th century in the rock.
