GOMBORI PASS
At 1620 meters above sea level, Gombori road is one of the most picturesque roads in Georgia. It offers travellers incredible views of magnificent sceneries of Alazani valley and the Caucasus Mountains.

ALAVERDI MONASTERY
This 6th-century monastery is one of the most cherished religious monuments throughout Georgia. Rebuilt in the 11th century by Kvirike III of Kakheti, it was the tallest church in Georgian until the Sameba Cathedral was finished in 2004.
Besides its religious significance through history, Alaverdi Monastery is also famous for its wine cellar. Here, the monks have been making their own wine for as long as the monastery stands.

LUNCH IN NATURE
On our way to Tusheti, we’ll stop on the road to have lunch surrounded by the impressive nature of Georgian highlands.

ZEMO OMALO
Zemo Omalo will be our first stop in one of the most picturesque parts of mountainous Georgia Tusheti. Here you’ll be surrounded by unbelievable views of the Caucasus mountains, green at bottom and covered with snow on top.

KESELO FORTRESS
This small medieval fortress just above the village of Omalo was used by Tushs to protect themselves from the invaders. Keselo was constructed during the Mongol invasion of Georgia in 1230s and originally had 13 towers. After centuries of neglect and erosion, in 2003 five towers were reconstructed.

GOMETSARI VALLEY & DOCHU
Dochu is the most beautiful village in all of Gometsari. It was mostly built during the late middle ages and is famous for its unique architecture which seamlessly follows the terrain. Houses in Dochu extrude from the slopes as if they were a continuation of the mountain itself.

DINNER
After a busy day of exploration we will return to Zemo Omalo, where we’ll have dinner, taste local chacha/wine and relax at a guest house.
