Tbilisi -> Tusheti

Zemo Alvani - The only route to enter Tusheti by car is from the Kakhetian village of Zemo Alvani, and it is advisable to use a larger 4x4 vehicle.

Abano Pass - The sole road linking Tusheti with the rest of Georgia traverses the Abano Pass, a 72-kilometer stretch of unpaved serpentine road at an altitude of 2850 meters, constructed in the 1980s.

Omalo - The visitor center is situated in the village of Kvemo Omalo. Just 100 meters from the protected area signboard is the administrative complex of Tusheti Protected Areas, one of the most stunning buildings in the region. Surrounded by pine trees, the center offers a scenic viewpoint to the east with a breathtaking panoramic view. Visitors can obtain information about the natural and cultural attractions of Tusheti Protected Areas here.

Shenako - This village is renowned for its unique and impressive architecture, featuring house-towers. These residences were designed to safeguard the family’s property, with the lower floors used for livestock and the upper floors for living quarters and defense against enemy attacks. By the late 19th century, the defensive function of these peel houses had diminished, and they began to be converted into new-style accommodations with balconies. Like other villages in Tusheti, Shenako is also on the UNESCO World Heritage Sites list.

Diklo - Diklo village is part of historical Tusheti and is a paradise for nature enthusiasts. It is located in the Alazani river valley of Tusheti, nestled between the Greater Caucasus and Tusheti mountain ranges.

Omalo - The mountain village of Omalo is located in the historical province of Tusheti, within the Akhmeta municipality, at an elevation of 1880 meters above sea level, between the Greater Caucasus Mountain Range and the Pirikita Range. According to the 2014 population census, 37 people reside permanently in Omalo.

Omalo is notable for its unique ethno-cultural heritage, particularly its historical sections, which exemplify medieval Tusheti architecture.

Keselo Fortress is a highlight of Omalo, built in 1230 during the Mongol invasion. It later served as a defense against raids from Northern Caucasian people. The fortress remained mostly in ruins until 2003 when it was partially restored.

The medieval residential houses of Omalo are examples of Caucasian mountain architecture, with most surviving structures dating from the 17th to 19th centuries.

Tusheti

Tusheti National Park - Parsma

The village of Parsma is located in Tusheti National Park, at an altitude of 2075 meters above sea level. It features a tower entirely made of stone. The journey to Tusheti is so breathtaking that it seems impossible for the villages above to offer more beauty, yet places like Parsma surpass all expectations.

Tusheti -> Tbilisi

Alaverdi St. George Cathedral - The monastery complex and Alaverdi Cathedral are located in the village of Alaverdi. The Alaverdi Complex is a 6th-century Georgian Orthodox monastery. Alaverdi is the tallest cathedral in Georgia, reaching up to 50 meters. It dominates the surrounding landscape in a fertile river valley against the backdrop of the Caucasus Mountains. The cathedral is a cross with three apses inscribed in a rectangle. The interior is extremely imposing, while the exterior is devoid of embellishments, featuring monumental blind arcades and niches for decoration, lending the entire structure an air of monumentality and solemnity.
