Full description

Venture into the heart of the majestic Caucasus Mountains and uncover the hidden treasure that is Tusheti. This 3-day small group tour from Tbilisi is an exclusive opportunity to explore a remote region that is accessible by car for only three months a year. With its unspoiled nature, fewer tourists, and an atmosphere that is pure and invigorating, Tusheti is a destination that appeals to the soul.

As you make your way through the rugged terrains in a 4WD vehicle, prepare to be captivated by the breathtaking mountain views that surround you. The air is crisp, the skies are a canvas of a million stars, and the silence is punctuated only by the whispers of the wind.

Day 1: Depart from Tbilisi and ascend into the mountains to reach the ancient village of Omalo. Here, you will witness a way of life that has remained unchanged for centuries. The Keselo Fortress stands as a sentinel, guarding the secrets of this land.

Day 2: Delve into the Tusheti National Park, where the verdant forests and alpine meadows beckon. The villages of Dartlo and Parsma are jewels nestled in the mountains. The stone towers and slate-roofed houses speak of a rich cultural heritage.

Day 3: Visit Shenako, home to the Holy Trinity Church, and breathe in the spirituality that permeates the air. As you make your way back to Tbilisi, the mountains will bid you a silent farewell.

Throughout this journey, you will meet the people of Tusheti - the guardians of this land. Their hospitality is warm, and their hearts are open. The local cuisine is a melody of flavors that are as rich and varied as the culture.

For the adventurous at heart, there is an option to explore the landscapes on horseback. Imagine riding through the meadows with the wind in your hair and freedom at your fingertips.

This is not just a tour; it's an experience that will resonate with you long after you have left. It's an invitation to connect with a land that is raw, pure, and untamed. It's a call to the heart for those who seek more than just a destination.
