The Tusheti to Khevsureti trek via Atsunta Pass is a 6-day point-to-point hiking route in the Caucasus Mountains of Georgia. It starts in Omalo (Tusheti) and ends in Shatili (Khevsureti), crossing the high-altitude Atsunta Pass at 3,430 meters and passing through remote alpine valleys, historic villages, and wild mountain landscapes.
The Atsunta Pass trek is considered moderate to challenging. It involves long hiking days (up to 20 km), sustained elevation gains over 1,000 meters, and remote camping. Prior trekking experience and good physical fitness are recommended.
The best time for a Tusheti trekking tour is from mid-June to late September. During this season, the Abano Pass is open, the trails are snow-free, and the weather is generally stable for high-altitude trekking in the Caucasus.
Yes, permits are required for the section between Girevi and Atsunta Pass due to its proximity to the border zone. On guided tours, your team will handle all necessary permits and registration at the Girevi border post.
This trek is best suited for hikers with some multi-day trekking experience. While it doesn’t involve technical climbing, the distances, terrain, and remote setting may be challenging for absolute beginners.
For a camping trek in Tusheti Georgia, pack sturdy hiking boots, layered clothing for variable weather, a sleeping bag rated for cool nights, rain protection, and a backpack for daily essentials. Group camping gear is usually provided on guided tours.
To reach Omalo from Tbilisi, you’ll first drive to Alvani village (about 2 hours), then switch to a 4WD vehicle for the 70 km off-road journey over Abano Pass. The total trip takes around 6–7 hours depending on road conditions.
This route is considered one of the best trekking trails in Tusheti because of its dramatic mountain scenery, authentic cultural encounters, remote landscapes, and the iconic crossing of the Atsunta Pass linking two ancient highland regions.
This is more than a hike — it’s a journey across forgotten ridges, ancient watchtowers, and one of the wildest trekking routes in Georgia.
