Tusheti Adventure Mountain Bike Tour

Legendary amongst Georgians, the people of Tusheti have a way of life unchanged for centuries. The village communities are rooted into place where the energy of the mountains runs deep through the veins. Shepherds tend to their sheep and cattle on horseback. Crafted stone towers stand watch. Water torrents crash down steep sided river channels. The swollen river courses relentlessly along the valley. Join us in the mountains where time disappears.

Larger groups we aim to give you a slot immediately. Smaller groups unless specifically indicated by you (subject to costs) will involve making some new friends.
