Mysterious Khevsureti

The magic of high mountains, unity with nature, narrow paths over steep cliffs, a fine line between Christianity and paganism – everything in this tour!

Khevsureti is a historical region in the north-east of Georgia.

In the Middle Ages, the Khevsurs were exempted from paying any taxes, but were obliged to protect the northern borders of Georgia.

A distinctive feature of the local population is above average height, blue or light green eyes, light blond hair.

The main crafts were: wool processing, embroidery, weaving, woodcarving.

Abudelauri colored lakes

The unrivaled beauty of nature. They include three lakes – Green, Blue and White. They are located at an altitude of 2600 meters above sea level.

Hidden among the mountain peaks, the lakes amaze with their beauty and crystal clear water.

Fortress Shatili

On the border with Chechnya, on the slope of the Main Caucasian Range, there is the Shatili fortress. Defense from the Chechens was the main strategic task of Shatili.

The city-fortress consists of sixty residential towers, each of which is an independent citadel. All the towers are tightly adjacent to each other, forming an impregnable wall from the outside.

Tower houses are built in such a way that you can move between them without even going outside.

Mutso Fortress

According to some historical sources, the fortress was built during the reign of Queen Tamar in Georgia in the 12th century. According to other sources, Mutso was built only in the 16th-17th centuries. And maybe, until the 19th century, people who left the city lived here. When exactly this happened and what the reasons are is not known.

There is information that the defensive towers belonged to three families of Khevsureti: Torgva, Dayauri and Cholokashvili.

Tombs of Anatori

A place where time stopped, a place where a stone structure reigns at the confluence of the Argun and Ardoti rivers, a little north of the village of Shatili.

Once, on the left bank of the Argun, there was a small village of Anatori. In 1850, a plague broke out in the Ardot Gorge, which also affected Anatori. All the inhabitants, the entire Sisauri clan, were infected, except for one boy who at that time was grazing herds higher in the mountains.

For the sick, small houses (tombs) with small windows were built. People wallowed themselves and waited in them for their death.

The tomb houses still stand to this day with the remains of those people.
