Tusheti & Khevsureti Trekking Tour – Georgia
About Tusheti
Tusheti is one of Georgia’s most stunning and remote regions. It lies on the northern slopes of the Eastern Caucasus, bordering Chechnya, Dagestan, Pshav-Khevsureti, and Kakheti.
Tusheti National Park includes the Tusheti State Reserve. The park is rich in alpine meadows, glaciers, rivers, forests, and towering peaks such as Tebulos (4,492 m) and Diklo (4,285 m).
High-altitude villages include Omalo, Diklo, Khiso, Girevi, Parsma, and Shenako, located between 1,900 and 2,400 meters above sea level. Omalo, the center of Tusheti, is on UNESCO’s tentative World Heritage list. The villages are famous for stone houses and defensive towers built using traditional dry-stone techniques.
Bochorna (2,345 m) in the Gometsari Valley is the highest village in Europe.
Tusheti can be reached by car from Tbilisi via Akhmeta, crossing the Abano Pass (3,000 m) to Omalo. This 70 km road is considered one of Georgia’s most scenic but also most challenging. It is closed for 7–8 months due to heavy snow and opens in mid-June. Outside this period, access is possible only by helicopter.
About Khevsureti
Shatili is the heart of Khevsureti. This unique castle-village is built entirely of dry stone with terraces and defensive towers. Shatili is included on UNESCO’s tentative list of protected sites.
The tour also visits Mutso, an ancient fortress village that has been abandoned for over a century.
From Shatili, the route returns to Tbilisi via the Datvijvari Pass and the Zhinvali Reservoir, offering scenic views of Georgia’s untouched mountains.
