DISCOVER TUSHETI — OFF THE MAP

A remote mountain region of northeastern Georgia, Tusheti is known for stone villages, ancient towers, wild valleys and one of the country's most dramatic mountain roads.

WHY TRAVEL TO TUSHETI

Discover Omalo, the main gateway to the remote Tushetian valleys
Explore Dartlo and traditional villages with distinctive stone towers
Experience high mountain passes, alpine meadows and deep valleys
Travel one of Georgia's most spectacular mountain roads

Vardzia is carved into a cliff above the Mtkvari: a medieval cave city that still feels improbable when the afternoon light reaches its tunnels. The road south passes fortresses, high volcanic plateaus and villages with their own quiet cadence. We design this route for travelers who want context, not a checklist — archaeology, landscape and a table with time to listen.
