Tusheti Gem Of Georgia
About this tour
Tusheti, which is the most magical place that you’ll ever have the opportunity to visit (we assure you), offers 2 quite different options, but you’ll have the opportunity to experience both - one will take you to medieval times, with wondrous nature, gorgeous streams and waterfalls, fresher air than ever and zero connection to outer world, while the other one still has an amazing nature, but your life will be quite different, since you’ll also be spoiled with things like hotels with warm beds, appetizing food and Wi-Fi.
