Travel Program

Overview

Our 10-day trekking in Tusheti is an exceptional offer for those who are looking for trekking in Georgia and are able to cover daily distances of 13 to 17 km and altitude differences of 500 to 900 m.

Tusheti, a mountainous region in eastern Georgia in the Greater Caucasus, attracts many travellers who want to explore the unique landscape and diverse flora and fauna of the Caucasus. A national park was established here as early as 2003 to protect the unique beauty of this region. Even the journey to Tusheti via the 3000-metre-high Abano Pass, which is crossed in an off-road vehicle, is an adventure.

During the trek through Tusheti, we explore all four valleys of the region and visit the picturesque villages. A baggage car helps us to transport our luggage to the next accommodation, so that the hikers only have to carry a daypack.

During the trekking in Tusheti, we spend the night in the guesthouses of the Tushetian villages, where delicious meals and hot showers await us every day. Guests will have the opportunity to experience the daily life of the Tushetians and visit famous Tushetian defensive towers. Our guide will tell us a lot about Tushetian culture and local customs.

Please note:  The trip can also be booked individually with or without a guide. Tips and pros and cons for hiking in Georgia on your own can be found here.
