Why This Tour Is Special
The Egrisi Mountains remain one of the last truly wild places in Europe.
Few people ever reach the Tobavarchkhili Lakes, and even fewer experience them on horseback across the entire mountain range.
This expedition is for travelers who want a real adventure far from crowded tourist routes.
