Travel Programme

Overview

Our Jeep Tour Tusheti and Vashlovani NP includes two enchanting places. Both are true gems for the adventurous who appreciate jeep tours in this unique country.

Vashlovani National Park offers a dry steppe landscape, while Tusheti promises a real adventure with its mountains and roads that reach up to 3000 metres in altitude (Abano Pass).

Our 8-day trip is aimed at guests who enjoy exploring the steppe landscape in an off-road vehicle on gravel roads or who are looking for a challenge on mountain and pass roads.

Itinerary

Day 1.Tbilisi-Dedoplistskaro | to the steppes of Georgia

Our jeep tour in Tusheti begins with a drive to Dedoplistskaro in the Kakheti region, where the Vashlovani National Park is located. Here we will visit the administrative centre of the national park and take care of some formalities. Our first destination is the mud volcanoes in the Chakhuna Protected Area.

The route there passes through wide, steppe-like grasslands in Kakheti, offering beautiful photo opportunities. We will stop at the Dali Dam, where guests can either take pictures or enjoy bird watching.

As there are many interesting bird species here, we recommend that guests bring binoculars and/or telephoto lenses for photography.

We will have a picnic break at the mud volcanoes and explore the unique surroundings of this place. In the evening we will return to Dedoplistskaro.

Meals: breakfast, dinner

Accommodation: Dedoplistskaro / in the guesthouse

Day 2.Vazhlovanii NP | through the steppes of Georgia

From our accommodation, we continue east to Washlowani National Park. The charming and fertile Shiraki Plain, famous for its wheat, welcomes us in all its splendour.

During the Soviet era, the largest military airport was located here, and its hangars still stand today. We take a short photo break at the airport and immerse ourselves in the Soviet past.

We will pass the village of Kasristkali on our way to the entrance of the national park and then continue through a dry river bed into the exotic Samukhi plain. Here our guests will need their binoculars again, this time to observe gazelles, which have found their habitat in this region.

In the evening we arrive at the ranger station ‘Mijnis Kura’ on the Alazani River, which forms a natural border between Georgia and Azerbaijan. We will spend the night in huts there.

Accommodation: Vashlovani NP / in the hut

Day 3.Mijnis Kure – Shavi Mta – Sighanghi | City of Love

From Mijnis-Kure we continue to Schavi-Mta, also known as Black Mountain. This name comes from its particularly dark soil. The area is famous for a unique species of peony that is endemic to the national park.

With a bit of luck, we can also see some beautiful birds here, including the Colchic pheasant. We will take a short walk along the ridge and enjoy the view of the Caucasus and the Alazani plain all the way to Azerbaijan.
