Tusheti is a unique region of Georgia, which is difficult to access, and the road here is open only 3 months a year. Join our small group and explore this region. The amazing nature, abandoned fortresses, high mountains will amaze you, and the journey there itself is worth it. Without a doubt, it is something that you will remember for the rest of your life. Our journey will begin in the Georgian capital Tbilisi, from where we will travel to the very heart of Tusheti. Here we will explore traditional villages, unique landscapes and majestic mountains, experience local culture and hospitality. Horseback riding in a remote and inaccessible corner of Georgia - Tusheti - will not leave anyone indifferent. The horseback riding tour program begins with a real jeep tour. After all, the national park can only be reached on foot, by jeep or helicopter. The road is rocky, serpentine, slowly ascending to the Aban pass at an altitude of 2900 m, but after overcoming the pass, the descent into the wonderful world of Tusheti, still hidden from civilization, begins. We will have 4 full days of riding in the national park. The last day of the trip is a return to the Alazani Valley by jeep along a mountain serpentine road.
