Things to Do in Tusheti
Visit Omalo Village and Keselo Fortress
The gateway to Tusheti’s soul
Omalo is the main village and starting point for most Tusheti adventures. Explore the medieval Keselo towers, built to defend against invaders, and enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding peaks. It’s the perfect place to begin your journey into Tusheti’s timeless world
Hike to Dartlo Village
Stone houses and sacred silence
Dartlo is a jewel of Tusheti — a village of slate-roofed homes and ancient towers nestled in a green valley. The hike from Omalo is scenic and peaceful, and once there, you’ll feel as if you’ve stepped into a living museum of Georgian highland life
Ride Horseback Through Pirikiti Valley
Where trails follow the rhythm of tradition
Tusheti’s valleys are best explored on horseback, just as locals have done for centuries. Ride through alpine meadows, cross rivers, and visit remote villages like Parsma and Girevi, where hospitality is as wild and generous as the landscape
Attend a Tushetian Festival
Ancient rituals in a modern world
If you visit in late summer, you may witness traditional festivals like Atengenoba — a celebration of harvest, horsemanship, and ancestral spirits. Expect music, feasting, and rituals that connect past and present in unforgettable ways
Camp Under the Stars
Silence, sky, and the scent of pine
Tusheti’s remote beauty makes it ideal for camping. Set up near a river or high on a ridge, and watch the stars blaze across the sky with no city lights to dim them. It’s a moment of pure connection with nature
