About us
We are Tato and Elene, a husband-and-wife team, locals from Tusheti and Vashlovani National Parks.
For us, this is not just a business—it’s our way of life. We started this journey together in 2013 with a simple goal: to share the breathtaking beauty of our homeland with travelers from all over the world.
We are not just tour operators; we are storytellers, guides, and guardians of these mountains.
Every path we take you on, every valley we cross, and every mountain pass we ride through—these are the places we grew up in. We know their secrets, their legends, and their soul.
What we do?
We specialize in horseback riding tours, leading riders through the wild, untouched landscapes of Tusheti.
Whether you’re an experienced rider or a first-timer, we tailor our journeys to suit your comfort and skill level. Riding through these mountains is an experience like no other—you will feel the wind in your hair, the rhythm of the horse beneath you, and the vastness of the land stretching endlessly before you.
For those who prefer four wheels to four hooves, we offer jeep tours, taking you through the rugged beauty of Vashlovani and Tusheti National Parks. These are not just scenic drives—they are journeys through time, where ancient villages, breathtaking landscapes, and hidden trails tell the story of Georgia’s past.
And when the day’s adventure is over, we welcome you to our hotel, Lasharai, in Upper Omalo—a warm and cozy retreat in the heart of Tusheti. Here, you’ll experience true Tushetian hospitality, home-cooked meals, and breathtaking mountain views that will stay with you long after you leave.
Who we are?
We are incredibly proud of our team of horsemen, all of whom are locals with years of experience navigating the rugged terrain of Tusheti and Vashlovani. These are not just guides; they are true mountain people, born and raised in the highlands, with a deep understanding of the land, the horses, and the traditions that make this place so special.
Each of our team members is dedicated to ensuring that your journey is safe, comfortable, and truly unforgettable. They will guide you through hidden trails, share their knowledge of Tushetian culture, and make sure you experience the warm hospitality of our people.
When you ride with us, you’re in the hands of true experts—people who have spent their entire lives in these mountains, caring for horses and leading travelers through some of the most breathtaking landscapes in Georgia.

Tato
Certified Mountain guide
I am Tato a certified mountain guide, and my passion has always been horses. Growing up in Tusheti, I spent my childhood riding through the mountains, learning every trail, every river, and every hidden corner.
To me, horseback riding is not just a way to travel—it’s a way to connect with nature, to feel the land beneath you, and to experience the world as our ancestors did.
For us this is more than just a business. It’s about sharing the beauty, traditions, and stories of our land. We want every guest who visits us to feel the same deep connection to these mountains that we do. We want them to experience the freedom of riding through endless valleys, the warmth of Tushetian hospitality, and the awe of standing at the edge of the world, surrounded by untouched nature.
We believe that travel should be authentic, immersive, and unforgettable—and that’s exactly what we offer. When you travel with us, you’re not just a visitor; you become part of our story, even if only for a short time.
We look forward to welcoming you to Tusheti and Vashlovani sharing our traditions, and creating memories that will stay with you forever.
