Important information

Abano Pass is located in Eastern Georgia, on the Main Caucasus Watershed, at 2,826 meters above sea level, between the Bulanchostsveri and Didgverda mountains. The pass is the only road leading to Tusheti, which is quite difficult and is an reason for adventure. Therefore, in 2013, the BBC placed this road on the list of the most extreme roads in Europe. Although the road, along with extremism, is also very picturesque, and it is identified with the cultural heritage.
Historical and Ethnographic Museum in Tusheti is located near the village of Omalo, in one of the fortresses of Kesalo. Tusheti household equipment and military weapons are represented here. The historic district of Omalo is the village-fortress of Kesalo. To date, there are only seven towers left. Bearing in mind that there are two chapels and a brewery in the village, we can conclude that this village was an important settlement in Tusheti.
The village of Diklo attracts attention with its architecture and houses with ornaments. Next to the village is the Diklo Fortress, which occupies an important place in the history of Tusheti.
Shenako is the special village in Tusheti, which justifies its name ("shenako" from the word "shekeba" - to praise). It is located at 2080 meters above sea level. Around the village there are meadows and unique pine forests. In the village of Shenaco, there is also a church of the Holy Trinity, which best merges with the environment and admires visitors with painting and architecture.
Dartlo, Kvavlo, Dochu, Parsma, Girevi, Tchesho - these are the villages in Tusheti, which preserve a centuries-old past and still amaze visitors. Despite the fact that they are almost deserted, the villages still have their charm, especially nature, and difficult roads make the desire to visit these villages even more exacerbated.
Bochorna is the highest mountain village in Europe, located at 2345 meters above sea level. Bochorna makes Tusheti, in particular, the Gometsari valley even more interesting and attractive. It is worth noting the fact that the village of Bochorna is 117 meters taller than the highest peak in Australia, Kosciusko. In the village of Bochorna, there is only one permanent resident, who steadfastly protects existence of the village.
