We offer horse riding tours to one of the most interesting and remote mountain regions of Georgia. Tusheti is a fascinating mountainous province, situated on the northern slopes of the Eastern part of the Main Caucasian Mountain Range. Tour itineraries generally involve 4 to 7 hours of horse-riding a day on normal paths. Sometimes we cross high passes but the terrain is never dangerous   or difficult.

We provide local Caucasian mountain horses, which know the local landscapes well. The saddles we use are traditional to the Georgian mountain people.
