Horseback Tour to Dusheti (Mtskheta–Mtianeti)

A new and very immersive tour that will leave no guest indifferent. It will be especially interesting for those who have already joined our horseback tours before!

The tour is led by a native Tbilisi resident with over 10 years of experience in excursions, hiking, and travel. A dynamic, engaging, and certified guide.

What awaits us:

• Shio-Mgvime Monastery — a legendary medieval monastic architectural complex near Mtskheta.
  Located in a narrow limestone gorge on the northern bank of the Mtkvari River, this is a truly picturesque place. The monastic community was founded over 1,500 years ago and still exists today.

• A short walk to an interesting church

• Horseback riding in Dusheti — in the area where, according to historical sources, Alexander Pushkin once stayed.
  A calm 1-hour ride on gentle horses

• Zhinvali Reservoir
  You will learn the history of its creation — beneath the water lie more than a dozen flooded Georgian villages from the era of Queen Tamar. Some of them reappear when the water level drops (as it does now).

• Ananuri Fortress — the main historical landmark on the Georgian Military Highway, a true “history carved in stone.”
  It is the only fortress in Georgia preserved in its original form. We’ll learn about the glorious past of the Aragvi eristavi (dukes).
