Tusheti Strict Nature Reserve

The reserve extends across 67,141 hectares of mountainous terrain, featuring deep valleys, dense forests, and peaks reaching over 3,000 meters in elevation.

The Georgian government established Tusheti as a strict nature reserve to protect the native species and natural ecosystems of the Caucasus mountain region.

The territory contains stone towers called koshki, which local populations constructed over generations for defensive purposes and residential use.

Access to the reserve requires official permits, and visits are limited to scientific research and educational purposes to maintain environmental protection.

The reserve contains multiple ecological zones supporting distinct plant communities and animal species adapted to different altitudes within the protected area.
