Tusheti, Georgia

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Tusheti is a remote highland region in the Greater Caucasus Mountains of northeastern Georgia, sitting at elevations that frequently exceed 2,000 metres and accessible only via the famously dramatic Abano Pass — one of the highest and most challenging mountain roads in the world, open only in summer. The region is celebrated for its untouched medieval tower villages, particularly Omalo, Shenako, and Dartlo, which have preserved Tushetian culture and architecture for centuries. It draws hikers, trekkers, and horse-riding enthusiasts to its rugged trails, sweeping alpine scenery, and glacial rivers. With no permanent year-round population and minimal infrastructure, Tusheti appeals strongly to adventurous travellers seeking genuine wilderness and off-the-beaten-path experiences in the Caucasus.
