If you want to visit Georgia and explore the Caucasus high mountains, visiting Tusheti by mountain bikes is a great idea. Tusheti is a remote region in the north-east part of Georgia and only reachable for seven months of the year from late May to the middle of October. during the rest of the time, road to Tusheti is closed due to the high snow on Abano pass (2826m) which is the only way to enter this gorgeous region. Amazing flora and fauna, heights of beautiful mountains, dancing rivers and ancient villages are great combinations to get lost in the mysterious world called Tusheti and experience one of the most memorable moments of your life.
Together, we will be riding across the passes and villages via jeep road, which is not too technical, so, it’s comfortable for any riders. We will be riding down from high passes down to the river streams and cross pine forests with breathtaking views on ancient villages. We always have option to ride only descending parts of our routes and drive up by 4×4 support vehicles.
While on our tour, we will experience living in ancient villages with lovely and very hospitable local people, taste a very tasty local food and most importantly, experience very old cultural traditions of Tushetian people.
