Horseback in the Caucasus Highlands (11 Days)

Journey through the highlands of Tusheti region.

Life in the Caucasus mountains is unimaginable without a horse. The Caucasian Mountains are the homeland of such breeds of great endurance and beauty as the Kabardo, Tusheti, etc.. Riding a horse through the mountain villages you immediately feel not merely a guest or a visitor but a participant in that chivalrous life that used to be led up here and traces of which are still in the air today. Interesting places, beautiful views, delicious food, wine and good company will fill the trip of livelong impressions.
