Why visit

This moderately challenging walk starts at Ghele, about 8 km from Omalo, and follows the Pirikiti valley for about 20 km there and back. It passes remote villages such as Chesho and ends at Parsma, with centuries-old stone towers along the way.

What to expect

It is less walked than the route to Diklo and gives a stronger sense of how isolated Tusheti's villages are.
