Wild, not yet fully explored mountains and distinctive red peaks that create a shimmering landscape in autumn. These are waterfalls hidden in the middle of the forest and turquoise mountain lakes with crystal clear water. Nature here delights at every turn.

Castle ruins Khikhani Castle.
- The enormity of history and legends written in the ruins Khikhani Castle from the 12th centurywhich was later converted into a prison. It was built near the Georgian-Turkish border at an altitude of 2,300 m. It is located in a strategic place remembering many battles and wars. A beautiful trekking route leads to it, offering incredible views of the Adjar and Turkish mountains. You can only go there with a special permit from the border services, which we organise for our guests.
- Beautiful ethnographic villages with characteristic wooden cottages which are around 100 and some as old as 200 years. They are built in such a way that there are livestock enclosures at the bottom and a living area at the top. This arrangement is meant to provide the house's inhabitants with extra warmth during the winter. During the tour, we will have the opportunity to sleep in this type of atmospheric house. High-mountain shepherd villages are located at an altitude of 2,000 metres above sea level, some of which remain empty for the winter and the inhabitants return to their homes below.
