Having spent years living and working in Georgia, particularly the Pankisi valley, I offer more than just tours; I provide a gateway to genuine connection and authentic experiences. My unique background and the intimate knowledge of the region allow me to craft journeys that bring visitors into close contact with the people and cultures of the areas I operate in.
Pankisi will always hold a special place in my heart, and I am uniquely positioned to offer access to its hidden treasures. One truly unparalleled experience is the Sufi ceremony performed by women, and exclusive cultural gem found only in this valley, home to the Kist (Chechen) community. This, along with other deeply personal encounters, forms the core of my bespoke tours.
While I always create individual, custom-made itineraries, the following will give a general idea of the types of experiences I offer:
*Mountain Expeditions: Explore the ancient regions of Pshavi, Khevsureti, Tusheti and Shiraki on foot, by horse or car. Photographic journeys visiting places so remote, they don’t feature on maps.
*Artistic & Culinary Workshops: Engage with local artisans, learn traditional crafts, or immerse yourself in the rich culinary and musical heritage of the diverse mountain tribes.
*Local Encounters: My tours are designed to introduce you to the locals I have lived among for years, fostering hospitality and unforgettable interactions.
