This 6-day Omalo Shatili Trekking is probably the most stunning trail you can imagine. We are trekking in Tusheti and Khevsureti – two remote historical provinces of Georgia. These regions are hardly accessible and because of this reason, they keep local traditions and special architectural styles such as stone towers and houses. Our journey takes us through the Greater Caucasus mountains, characterized by alpine meadows, snow-covered peaks, pine trees, and medieval villages.
