Why visit
The route from Omalo to Diklo is often called the easiest of Tusheti's classic hikes, though it is still a full day: about 16 km there and back, or roughly six hours. It passes through Shenako, a small village with an old Holy Trinity church, before reaching Diklo and the ruins of its fortress.
What to expect
The views across the valleys are wide, and the villages are quiet and almost empty outside summer. Diklo lies close to the border with Russia, so stay on the established route and follow any instructions from border guards.
