Day 2. Tbilisi – Omalo
Our guided enduro motorcycle tour heads towards Omalo, passing through the green meadows of the Caucasus and the crystal-clear Sioni Lake in the Alazani Valley. For millennia, this fertile region has been producing wine exported worldwide. We then ride on Georgia’s highest and narrowest gravel road, winding through beautiful, untouched Caucasus mountain landscapes, to the Abano Pass at an impressive 2,926 meters above sea level. The route is very winding with numerous ascents and descents and refreshing water crossings. At the end of this adventurous enduro trail through the so-called roller coaster of Tusheti, we reach the day’s highlight, the traditional village of Omalo. It is famous for its distinctive and well-preserved 12th-century watchtowers guarding the heart of the Caucasus.

We visit the remotest villages in the area, providing a glimpse into the past and allowing us to momentarily leave behind the hustle of life. Experience the sincere hospitality of the locals, who live in the simplest conditions yet radiate a contentment and tranquility rarely found in our modern, fast-paced world.
Day 4. Omalo – Sighnaghi
Enduro tour to Sighnaghi: Discover the world’s oldest wine region on your enduro motorcycle. The picturesque town of Sighnaghi, reminiscent of idyllic Tuscan villages, is secluded on a hill overlooking the Alazani Valley with a fascinating view of the Caucasus mountain range. End the day at sunset with a glass of wine on the balcony of your hotel in Sighnaghi, and all the day’s hardships will be forgotten!
Day 5. Sighnaghi – Rustavi
Enduro tour to Rustavi: Today, an unforgettable 138 km ride through the steppe awaits you, resembling a bizarre lunar landscape with its barren desert character. The route leads to a forgotten rock monastery, a secluded relic from the past adorned with beautiful Byzantine-era frescoes. The monastery is an absolute insider tip and is only visited by a few, locally known off-road tours, avoiding mass tourism. In the afternoon, we visit the famous Davit Garedja Monastery, dating back to the 6th century and associated with the origins of Christianity in Georgia, holding a particularly high significance in religious and spiritual terms.
