Caucasus Trekking Company has been founded in 2006 by Audrey Bogini and Gia Bakuridze. It offers self sufficient horseback trekking and hiking as well as special trips about soviet urbanism or art of living. Finaly pioneering trips in the north of Azerbaidjan, Kabardino Balkaria and Abkhazia are the new born. We are based in Tusheti, a very special region of the High Caucasus where the only access
to which is a track carved in cliffs. This enclave of Georgia is isolated by the snow that lies for more than 7 months of the year. The villages, dominated by the magnificent watchtowers, are built entirely in dry stone walling. A handful of people live there all the year round, completely self sufficient and without electricity or running water. The rest of the inhabitants are semi-nomadic, the last in Georgia, who use the region as they please for transhumance. With the approach of winter they return to the south near the border of Azerbaijan, to Chiraki which became a national park in 1996. This region, where the shepherds stay from November until May, is a jigsaw of micro-ecosystems which harbours numerous indigenous species of flora and fauna. We propose trekking (hiking, horseback, botanical) in both regions: Tusheti and Chiraki.
