About Us
We are Tato and Elene, a husband-and-wife team, locals from
Tusheti and Vashlovani National Parks.
We are not just tour operators; we are storytellers, guides, and guardians of these mountains.
or us, this is not just a business—it’s our way of life. We started this journey together in 2013 with a simple goal: to share the breathtaking beauty of our homeland with travelers from all over the world.
Every path we take you on, every valley we cross, and every mountain pass we ride through—these are the places we grew up in. We know their secrets, their legends, and their soul.
What we do?
We specialize in horseback riding tours, leading riders through the wild, untouched landscapes of Tusheti.
Whether you’re an experienced rider or a first-timer, we tailor our journeys to suit your comfort and skill level. Riding through these mountains is an experience like no other—you will feel the wind in your hair, the rhythm of the horse beneath you, and the vastness of the land stretching endlessly before you.
For those who prefer four wheels to four hooves, we offer jeep tours, taking you through the rugged beauty of Vashlovani and Tusheti National Parks. These are not just scenic drives—they are journeys through time, where ancient villages, breathtaking landscapes, and hidden trails tell the story of Georgia’s past.
And when the day’s adventure is over, we welcome you to our hotel, Lasharai, in Upper Omalo—a warm and cozy retreat in the heart of Tusheti. Here, you’ll experience true Tushetian hospitality, home-cooked meals, and breathtaking mountain views that will stay with you long after you leave.
