Ushguli is the homeland of defensive towers, one of Georgia\u2019s symbols. It\u2019s one of the most authentic places in the country, where millions of tourists haven\u2019t yet carved a path. Locals say it\u2019s also the highest village in Europe, although the residents of Kurush in Dagestan (Russia) would disagree.<\/p>\n

Ushguli is a land of Georgia, surrounded by impassable mountains. Even in summer, you can see snow under the clouds on the summit of Shkhara \u2013 one of the highest peaks of the Greater Caucasus. Neither the charms of modern civilization nor comfort and conveniences can make the residents of Ushguli leave their land, even in winter, when snowdrifts cut them off from the outside world for weeks.<\/p>\n

My new trip to Georgia happened because I saw a photo of Ushguli. I don\u2019t know how I could have missed it before and not seen the most beautiful place in Georgia. You might skip (oh, nooo) the Chaladi Glacier<\/a>, you might not visit Mestia, but missing Ushguli \u2013 that\u2019s coming to Svaneti for nothing.<\/p>\n

Ushguli is 100% a must-see!<\/strong><\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

How to get to Ushguli<\/h2>\n

You can\u2019t reach Ushguli in a regular car. Part of the road is in very bad condition, and it gets even worse after rain when the road is washed out. You need an SUV with high clearance \u2013 if you have one, you can go.<\/p>\n
