Why go

✦
Medieval Tushetian slate tower-villages — Omalo and Keselo, Dartlo, Shenako and Diklo.
✦
Genuinely remote high-Caucasus wilderness of alpine meadow and endemic flora, part of a protected area.
Tusheti is a remote protected landscape on the northern slopes of the Greater Caucasus in Kakheti, reached only over the Abano Pass and open just for the summer. Its slate tower-villages — Omalo, Dartlo, Bochorna — sit among alpine meadows and some of Georgia's wildest scenery.
