Tour itinerary

Day 1
Tbilisi → Datvisjvari → Shatili
- Early morning departure from Tbilisi
- Ascent to Datvisjvari pass (2676 m) — the most spectacular part of the road, with views of the Greater Caucasus Range
- Stop at Lebaiskari — a detailed account of this place and its significance for the region’s history
- Stop at Kistani — another Khevsur village with a rich history, which we’ll also cover in detail
- Lunch on the way (included in the price)
- Along the way, a talk about Khevsur traditions and culture: beliefs, rituals and local cuisine
- Arrival in Shatili, check-in at a guesthouse
- Free time: a walk around the fortress, photos, relaxation
- Dinner at the guesthouse — included in the price
- A night in the mountains, silence and stars
Day 2
Shatili → Mutso → Ardoti → Tbilisi
- Breakfast at the guesthouse
- Stop at the necropolis Anatori — 18th-century crypts where, during plague epidemics, the sick went to die so they would not infect others
- Transfer to Mutso
- Hike up to the fortress (~20–30 minutes, ~100 m of elevation gain, steep but manageable for everyone) — with a dive into the legends of the Khevsur people
- Picnic lunch in nature (we cook it ourselves — part of the hiking experience, included in the price)
- Drive back to Tbilisi
- Return to Tbilisi in the evening
Why travel with us
- No crowds. We take small groups in our own cars, not a 20-seat bus.
- Ethnographic format. It’s not just about “looking at the towers” — at every stop we explain in detail the traditions, cuisine and beliefs of the Khevsurs, including Lebaiskari and Kistani, which many tours drive past without stopping.
- All-inclusive, no surprises. 750 ₾ covers breakfast, two lunches, dinner, accommodation and transport. Fixed price, no extra charges on site.
- A real overnight stay in the mountains, not a one-day, 16-hour round-trip marathon.
- The first tour in the series. If you enjoy it, there are 3 more routes around Khevsureti to come.
