Why visit

The route from Omalo to Shatili in Khevsureti covers about 70 km and usually takes four to six days. It climbs over high mountain passes and through historic, often abandoned villages before reaching Shatili's fortified tower village on the far side.

What to expect

It is a serious expedition rather than a hike to try on a whim: weather, river crossings, border areas and navigation all add risk. Go with an experienced local guide, and plan transport back from Shatili before setting out.
