Trekking in the Great Caucasus Mountains

The Tusheti is located in the Great Caucasus Range and is accessible only 4 months a year which has kept the region wild, authentic, unspoiled and the old pagan traditions alive……

 

INTRODUCTION

We are not a big travel agency but quite simply a sympathetic business which makes it possible to share with you a moment of relaxation in different scenery. 

We breed our horses and they are part of our lifes everyday. 

We live amongst the last ethnic semi-nomads of Georgia in the High Caucasus, the Tush people. 
The Tusheti is, without doubt, one of the last Georgian mountain regions where you will still sense a breath of Shamil, be bewitched by the mysteries and impressions of the life of the locals. You will be filled with wonder by the simplicity and the beauty of this life in symbiosis with the natural elements around it.


COMPANY PRESENTATION

We, the CTC team, are based in Tusheti, a very special region of the High Caucasus. The only access to which is a track carved in cliffs. This enclave of Georgia is isolated by the snow that lies for more than 7 months of the year. The villages, dominated by the magnificent watchtowers, are built entirely in dry stone walling. 

A handful of people live there all the year round, completely self sufficient and without electricity or running water. 
The rest of the inhabitants are semi-nomadic, the last in Georgia, who use the region as they please for transhumance. 
We will lead you on a winding trail on foot to explore these very wild regions, still unspoilt, to visit the local people with whom we keep in close contact and who are some finest riders people. 
Among the 2 main guides, one is Tush and has grown up in the Tush mountains…..
