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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note this route remains Mountain trail and is located in a very seclude area. Therefore don\u2019t think that this is a trail for endless gallop on the deserted beach. It is definitely not. The amazing horses are born in mountains and they are going everywhere like goats but at their own pace. And at last but not least, even if the camps have been replaced by overnights in guesthouse or traditional house, the comfort remains basic (sometimes bathroom and toilet are shared between all rooms, sometimes there will be no bathroom and very basic toilet to be shared in the village).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This period offers an incredible ride : Winter is almost there but the days are warm as well as the colours. The forests sparkle, a rain of yellow leaves covers the mountains slopes on which the last flock of sheep and herd of horses are grazing. The last shepherds are gathering their animals. The Tusheti is quiet as well as the rivers, birds and animals preparing their winter retreat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\"><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"16544\" src=\"https:\/\/caucasus-expedition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/COMP-Audrey7842.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16544\" srcset=\"https:\/\/caucasus-expedition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/COMP-Audrey7842.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/caucasus-expedition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/COMP-Audrey7842-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/caucasus-expedition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/COMP-Audrey7842-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"16540\" src=\"https:\/\/caucasus-expedition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/COMP-Audrey7840.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/caucasus-expedition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/COMP-Audrey7840.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/caucasus-expedition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/COMP-Audrey7840-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/caucasus-expedition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/COMP-Audrey7840-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"753\" data-id=\"16538\" src=\"https:\/\/caucasus-expedition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/COMP-Audrey7837.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16538\" srcset=\"https:\/\/caucasus-expedition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/COMP-Audrey7837.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/caucasus-expedition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/COMP-Audrey7837-300x221.jpg 300w, https:\/\/caucasus-expedition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/COMP-Audrey7837-768x565.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We start our horseback trekking in the heart of the National Park and more precisely in Gogrulta.
