Staying in Tusheti means staying in village homes — there are no hotels, no hostel dorms, and no lodges outside the family properties that open their doors during the short summer season. This is not a criticism; it is what the place is. The hosts here are the same families who have summered in these villages for generations, and a room typically comes with meals, a fire if the night turns cold, and a view that justifies the journey on its own.
The season is short — roughly late June to early September, determined by the road over the Abano Pass — and some places only open if they have confirmed bookings, so it is worth contacting ahead rather than assuming availability. Expect basic but functional rooms, consistent meals, and hosts who know the trails better than any map. The guide below covers the main villages and the specific places worth booking.
