Tusheti is a high-mountainous and almost the most inaccessible region of Georgia. Incredible mountains, the point of which pierces the sky, breathtaking views and breathtaking serpentines.

Calypso's regional tours include exciting excursion, lunches and dinners in the most unusual places with history and visits to iconic sights! 

 

You can get to Tusheti by helicopter from the Telavi Mimino airport or along the Pshaveli-Omalo highway, which is also called the “Tusheti highway”. The Calypso tour “On a visit to Mimino” provides a flight by helicopter. This is an unforgettable sight - stunning bird's eye view of the mountains, accompanied by the song "Chito-grito" from the famous film. The main attraction of these edges is their pristine and preserved original appearance. 

 

Green mountains, endless fields of flowers, shepherds and their faithful friends - Caucasian Shepherd Dogs, rare towers built in prehistoric times and stone-roofed houses covered with brown moss. To climb higher, to the sky, in the village of Omalo, Shenako, and see the local sights, you can use the Delica Jeeps or try the best therapy - horse riding! It was in these villages that the shooting of the film “Mimino” took place. And the pilot Valiko was from Shenako.

Watchtowers, the church of St. George, built in the XIX century, amazing villages Dartlo and Khevlo, to this day have retained their ancient appearance. Several tourist routes of the National Park pass through the village of Dartlo. By the way, many rare and endangered species of animals live in the National Park.

The Tushinians are special people. Mostly cut off from the rest of the world, they created their own harsh, but very soulful microcosm. They have learned to survive based on natural conditions. 

 

A picnic in the nature of Tusheti and a particularly fragrant tea from local herbs - these are the indispensable gastronomic pleasures recommended by Calypso! After all, what could be a holiday in Georgia without delicious food? Special Tushetian breads cakes of happiness, flatbreads with potatoes, the famous dish of Kotori, sheep cheese Gouda, khinkali, lamb kebab, which has just been slaughtered, “boiling vodka”, freshly brewed beer - who likes it more! It is in such a tasty context that it is better to admire these harsh views.

Local cuisine is different from the rest due to the prevailing environmental conditions. In this region there are no refrigerators and meat is brought from the plains. 

 

So, the least thing you can do while on vacation in Georgia is to taste unforgettable Georgian dishes and traditional wine! 

 

The price of the tour with a visit to Tusheti depends on the cost of accommodation, excursion program and other additional options. The price of the tours, as well as accommodation options can be requested from the managers of the company.
