Walk by Georgian-Azerbaijan boder in David Gareji is great. We've been there at the end of May, as we've been warned it's the most rainy season in this region. There was a rain but it didn't change how epic this place was.
Gareji is a complex of monasteries just on the border of Georgia and Azerbaijan. You'll see many amazing landscapes and also an interesting piece of history. #golden

July 2010 Keselo Fortress, Kvemo Omalo, Tusheti One of the towers of Keselo, a medieval fortress consisting of 13 towers built in 14-15th century, altitude is ca. 2.000 metres. The fortress originally served as protection against Mongol invaders and later against Dagestani invaders. It was mostly used only in summer months when the raids were usual. In winter people lived in the village below the fortress. It has lost its purpose in 19th century after the Russians allied with local Tushs. It was abandoned and destroyed during World War II. In 2003 the reconstruction started and sponsored by a Dutch family. Many of the towers were built back from ruins, accomodating a museum of local tradition with many old photos from the region. Keselo is few tens of metres over the village Kvemo (=Upper) Omalo, which is a usual starting point for trek west to Shatili in Khevsureti region or day hikes to Shenako or Diklo villages to the east.
