About this experience
Horse Migration Tour - From the Tusheti to Vashlovani
An Exclusive, Once-a-Year Nomadic Adventure
Dates: 7–14 October 2025
Once a year, the ancient tradition of moving the Tushetian horse herds from the lofty Caucasus mountains to the warm lowlands of Vashlovani comes alive. This is not a staged tour—it’s a real migration, riding side-by-side with 70 free-running horses, crossing wild passes, deep valleys, and golden plains.
You’ll join local horsemen who have inherited this tradition from their ancestors, live under the open sky, and ride trails few outsiders have ever seen. It’s a journey of authentic nomadic spirit, breathtaking scenery, and deep connection with nature.
Why This Tour is Unique
• Happens only once a year—real migration, not a tourist trail
• Ride alongside free-running horses over 260 km
• Sleep under the stars in wild, untouched landscapes
• Experience authentic Tushetian nomadic culture
• Be part of a centuries-old tradition few outsiders ever witness
