Tusheti Protected Landscape, Protected mountain landscape in eastern Georgia.

Tusheti is a protected mountain landscape in eastern Georgia featuring forests, high meadows, and mountain lakes scattered across steep valleys and plateaus. The terrain includes dense woodlands that transition into open alpine areas with numerous streams and small water bodies.

The region shows signs of human settlement dating back to ancient times, with evidence of occupation spanning multiple millennia. Medieval stone towers built by residents still stand today, marking how people organized their communities in this mountain environment.

Local communities here have practiced pastoral herding for centuries, maintaining traditional ways of raising livestock and processing wool. These practices shape how people use the land and move through the seasons.

The visitors centre is in the village of Lower Alvani in Akhmeta Municipality, from where the road climbs into the Tusheti mountains. Mountain roads are passable only in the warmer months; in winter reaching the area is difficult and needs careful planning.

Tusheti Protected Landscape covers 32,035 hectares and was created in 2003 together with Tusheti National Park and Tusheti Strict Nature Reserve, forming a combined protected area of about 113,660.2 hectares. It takes in every village and abandoned settlement of Tusheti, so the protection covers houses, towers and household objects as much as the terrain.
