This vast open-air museum showcases Georgia's diverse cultural heritage. Wander through its sprawling grounds, encountering authentic replicas of buildings, artifacts, and crafts from various regions of the country. Engage with local artisans, witness traditional dance performances, and deepen your appreciation for Georgia's multifaceted traditions and ethnicities. acVenture into Tusheti National Park, a secluded sanctuary nestled amidst the formidable Caucasus Mountains of Georgia. With our specialized tours, witness landscapes untouched by time — from tranquil alpine meadows to rugged peaks, each telling tales of ancient Tush shepherds. The echoing silence is broken only by distant murmurs of hidden streams and the occasional call of endemic wildlife. Traditional stone hamlets dot the vistas, where age-old customs persist. As you trek through this remote paradise, experience the profound connection between man, history, and the wild. Tusheti beckons, promising a journey through Georgia's pristine wilderness and into its very soul.
The journey into Tusheti is an adventure in itself. Navigate the Abano Pass, one of the most treacherous and highest drivable mountain passes. As your vehicle winds through the rugged terrain, the sweeping vistas of deep valleys and snow-capped peaks captivate, setting the tone for the untouched beauty and raw experiences that Tusheti promises.
Perched atop a hill in the village of Omalo, the Keselo fortresses stand sentinel, reminiscent of times when these towers protected villagers from invaders. Ascend to these stone towers, immersing in the rich history, and let the panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes sweep you off your feet. Each stone here whispers tales of valour, community, and ancient Tushetian life.
Experience the park's heart and soul by interacting with the semi-nomadic shepherds, the Tush. These warm-hearted locals open up their lives, sharing stories of their unique traditions, sheep herding practices, and the challenges of living in such remote terrains. Witness their seasonal migration, a deep-rooted custom, and perhaps even join them in a traditional feast, relishing dishes like "khinkali" and "kotori."
Tusheti's pristine wilderness beckons trekkers to explore its uncharted territories. Embark on a journey to the Oreti Lakes, a cluster of three stunning alpine lakes cradled amidst towering peaks. The tranquil waters, reflecting the skies and surrounded by verdant meadows, offer solace and a deep connection to nature. Every step in this trek reveals the park's unspoiled beauty and grandeur.
Step back in time in Dartlo, a picturesque village adorned with medieval towers and age-old stone houses. Nestled along the Pirikiti Alazani River, its labyrinthine lanes, historical architecture, and the tales of its resilient inhabitants offer a profound insight into Tusheti's bygone era. The village, with its distinctive towers silhouetted against the mountain backdrop, is a photographer's dream.
Time your visit with the annual Tushetoba Festival, a vibrant celebration of Tushetian culture and life. The valleys come alive with traditional music, dance, horse races, and rituals. Engage in local games, savour regional delicacies, and immerse in the joyous ambiance. The festival not only offers a feast for the senses but also deepens one's appreciation of Tusheti's rich cultural tapestry.
