How to Get to Tusheti

Georgia's most remote inhabited region — reachable only by 4×4 over Abano Pass.

Tusheti is accessible only over the Abano Pass from Kakheti — a 4–5 hour 4×4 drive from Alvani village. The pass is famous for a reason: single-lane gravel, drop-offs, and no barriers. Do not attempt without experienced local driver. Shared jeeps from Alvani cost 100–130 GEL per seat.

Highlights

  • Shared jeep Alvani→Omalo: 100–130 GEL, 4–5h, morning departures
  • Private 4×4 charter: 400–600 GEL, more flexibility on stops
  • Helicopter (emergency/luxury only): from Tbilisi
  • The pass opens ~10 June and closes ~5 October — hard dates depend on snow
