How to get to Tusheti:
By own car (it is possible to get there on your own, but if you decide to rent a car, difficulties will arise. For example, on the site localrent.ge it is forbidden to rent a car to travel to Omalo. You can try to find a car to rent from locals, but not everyone will want you to rent, find out where you are going. The road is very difficult and a lot depends on the weather. If it rains, postpone the trip until better weather. I was lucky, the sun shone all three days. The car is an SUV or Delica, otherwise you will lose the suspension, and together with her and myself.
On the way (the old grandfather's way has not been canceled). The route will look as follows: Tbilisi - Telavi - Kvemo-Alvani - Tusheti.
Using the services of a guide (if you want a Russian-speaking guide, look for him in Tbilisi. The local population in Tusheti and its environs hardly speaks Russian and English). The price for three days without accommodation and meals, and departure from Tbilisi with a Russian-speaking guide is 1500-2000 GEL. It should be understood that it is not profitable to go to Tusheti alone. Therefore, try to find a group of friends to share the costs).
Departure from Kvemo-Alvani by minibus-delik (exit from the stock exchange where drivers with Delics stand. In most cases, you will need to wait until the car is full, like a minibus. If it is not full, you can be taken alone for a lower price. How lucky.)

the driver Paata @paatanekerauli (instagram),

He doesn't speak Russian or English yet, but he's a nice guy, I recommend it.
You can also stay with his aunt Leila at Iduta Guest House in Dartlo. If you don't know which village to stop in, then definitely choose Dartlo. Of all the villages to live in, this was my favorite.
