TO THE HOMELAND OF MIMINO

What is Tusheti!?

Tusheti is the most inaccessible region of Georgia, familiar to us from childhood from the film “Mimino”.

The hero of the film, Valiko Mizandari, is from the village of Shenako, and nostalgia for his native land runs like a golden thread throughout the film.

Alpine coniferous forests, clean air, complete absence of civilization and very warm and simple people – this is what makes Tusheti the most attractive destination in Georgia.

If you are planning a trip to Georgia and are looking forward to discovering first-ever Georgia for yourself, to feel far from civilization, then this tour is for you.

According to the BBC, this section of the road is one of the 10 most dangerous roads in the world.

Then we arrive at the village of Omalo. Omalo is the most economically important village in the whole of Tusheti. Located in the Tusheti National Park, 8 km from the border with Russian Dagestan. Residential buildings in Omalo were built in different centuries, the oldest house was built in the eighteenth century. Deep in the ravine, an old mill is perfectly preserved; it was built in the nineteenth century. There are huge towers on the hill, they are built of natural stone and look very majestic. There is an ethnographic museum on the territory of the fortress. The beauty of nature, mountain air and silence is breathtaking.

Walk to the Keselo towers and a trip to the Gometsari gorge, where we will see the amazing village of Dochu.

Next, we will visit the village of Shenako, famous for its unique, impressive architectural tower houses. The lower floor of the towers was used to house livestock, and the upper floor was used to protect against enemies. In Shenako there is the Church of St. George (XIX century). It is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
