What to Expect
When you take a trip to Dartlo, you feel like you’ve been teleported back in time. From the remote village of Omalo, another 15 km further into the Pirikita high valley, and there lies the medieval fairytale settlement of Dartlo.
History
In Tusheti several ancient defensive towers (koshkebi) still stand in many of the villages.
