A land steeped in myths and legends and extraordinary natural beauty, Georgia offers the perfect backdrop to this walking adventure in the Greater Caucasus mountains.
Beginning in its capital, Tbilisi, we head out along the epic Georgian Military Highway to Kazbegi National Park and the slopes of Mount Chaukhebi, where we will hike amongst the breathtaking Greater Caucasus landscapes. From here we travel via the country's famed wine region to the majestic beauty of Tusheti National Park, Georgia's true hidden gem. The area is now recognised as a protected landscape and is managed by the Tushetian people. Our local hosts will help give us a unique insight into life in this more remote area, and how our journey helps support the preservation of traditional customs and skills.
On this tour we will venture across a landscape of sublime beauty, crossing a countryside liberally bedecked with traditional villages and historic old towns, all set against the magnificent backdrop of the towering and mysterious Greater Caucasus Mountains.
