There are 50 villages in the Tusheti region, all built in dry stones and plates. Caucasus Expeditions offers a brand new trip in Tusheti through the villages in which we overnight. The guesthouses have been sorted out not only for their amazing location but also for the former Tush architecture style. This is the most comfortable ride of Caucasus Expeditions which allows you at the same time to discover a part of this very remote and secluded area. You also discover the Tush history, their ancient traditions (today still alive), sacred places, rituals and gastronomy. As we do not need packhorses, we will be able to have some occasional trot and canter. To reach some secluded villages, we ride over some passes at 3000m, cross rivers and valleys, go on ridges at more than 3200m and have a picnic on high plateau offering amazing panoramas. Max 8 riders. 

Please note that this route remains a Mountain trail and is located in a very seclude area. Therefore don’t think that this is a trail for endless gallop on a deserted beach. It is definitely not. Our amazing horses are born in the Tusheti Mountains area and they are able to cross torrents, climb any obstacles, get through quite impressive places in a smooth and quiet way. They are a mix of goats and horses.

And at last but not least, even if the camps have been replaced by overnights in guesthouse, the comfort remains basic (shared bathroom and it might not have hot water as the heat system is mostly by polar panel).
