TUSHETI ROAD Georgia [Drone + GoPro] - most dangerous road in Georgia (Abano pass, Omalo)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 кві 2019
- Tusheti road in Georgia is one of the most dangerous roads in the world. It is well known as a "death road" because of many fatal accidents. This dirty unpaved road is situated deeply in beautiful Caucasus mountains. It is connecting Kakheti region with Tusheti region through the higest mountain road pass in Caucasus - Abano pass in altitude 2 850 m. The road is opened arround from May to October (depends on weather conditions). It is accesible only by 4x4 vehicles and it’s really challenging for driving skills. On the way one can try the natural termal springs Torghva. Our goal was the village Omalo - cute mountain village with wonderful views, fortress, several guesthouses for eating and sleeping, local hospitality and perfect breakfast :)
Tusheti road in numbers (from Pshaveli village to Omalo village):
- Distance: 72 km
- Vertical elevation: 2 800 m ascent / 1 380 m descent
- Max. altitude: 2 850 m Abano pass
- Travel time: 5 - 7 hours

Great shots! I"ve tried to pass this road last year. Our Fiat Scudo Long van with front wheels drive only, had to surrender on one of the many turns leading up. It was too dangerous, considering 5 yo kid on our board...
We did it one week ago. 6,5 hours of pure concentration. Amazing landscapes, beautiful nature, deep silence outside and inside ( ;) )and an unforgetable trip! Start in the morning when you want drive yourself and take your time to drive save and make enough brakes to enjoy the moment.
And remember, that the first 20 km are the heaviest, then the road becomes more comfortable. The most drivers quit at the first 20 km. We had best weather, otherwise i wouldn’t do it!
Thanks to all the good people, that we mett on our way :)
I drove a rental Subaru forester in July 2023 up and down. It takes about 4 to 5 hrs to reach Omalo.
They have widened the road so incoming traffic is not really a problem. The road is very rocky, it’s first gear 99% of the time unless you want to break a sway bar or strut. I’d say it’s rocks, rocks and rocks and lots of hairpins in latter part.
You’ll need an AWD because of ground clearance but 4x4 is not necessary unless in extreme weather. Not really dangerous if you’re focused just demanding 100% attention to driving.
Great quality of video. Amazing views and really extremely dangerous road.. Just arrived from Tusheti, Omalo yesterday. Stayed there for one night. Honestly never seen any videos or photos of Tusheti road. Just drove there. We loved this extreme breathtaking trip..
thank you :)
კარგი ვიდეო, ლამაზი სურათები, იმედია დაბრუნდები👍🏻
Thanks great Job !
The last song I want to listen to while on this road is something saying “make the ground shake”
Beautiful area.
Great video and great editing. A week ago I tried the Tusheti Road, too, but I gave up e.g. I didn't dare to wreck our rental SUV :-) We only drove the first 15km. I envy you for your experience!
Amazing video!!!!!!!!!! how many hours did you put into this?
Super 100000000
Superb 👍👍👍👏🏻❤🇬🇪

hello friends, we are thinking of climbing with our bike in April, what will the season be like if we start climbing in June?
DAMNNNNNN

Super film, ten vas na bicykloch! 👍 Vidim, ze sa vam muselo Gruzinsko tiez pacit. Podla datumov to vyzera, ze ste tam boli tak 2 tyzdne pred nami 🙂

How many kilometers is the rough and dangerous road? How long does it take
👍👍👍🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪❤️❤️❤️
Hey, nice shots. Did you drive the four-wheel drive vehicle yourself or did you use a rental car with a driver for the excursion?
Thank you, Marco! We used 4x4 rental car but we drove it by ourselves.
@@TravelingTunas thanks for your feedback. was it difficult to drive on the dirt road?
@Marco, it accually wasn't so difficult as it looks like. We were lucky having a good weather.
Wow, that's pretty special man.. how do I get here from Tbilisi?
There is a map of the road from Tbilisi to Omalo: goo.gl/maps/iJai31kmvhhhk9FF9

Any Bicycles?

Mt mom literally travels here alone, she has a hotel in shua aka middle omalo a villige in tusheti ita very goid and u should visit it!
Hi Keto,
What's the name of the hotel?
Sziasztok! Küldenétek linket merre van ez a hágó?
Hi, link is in the video description.
When was this video taken? Was the road improved since the last few years? I am going to Goergia this summer and I am debating to go to Tusheti area because of the safety issue... Thanks
It was from september last year. The road was dry and relatively safe in this season.
@@TravelingTunas Thanks for your reply. I'll be in Goergia from June 17th to August 29. Hopefully it will dry out by july.
Better time for this trip is May-August, when is dry. Check for weather forecast before you plan, rain may meet you with unexpectable surprises.
Amazimg video, beautiful scenery, awful music choice.
Do you need an suv there? I want to go by regular fwd but not sure :)))
Hi, if the road is dry, regular fwd should be enaugh
I want to attempt this road in May. What are my chances of a successful trip to Omalo?
it depends on weather conditions
MrJany0709 yeah, thanks.
That’s obvious. It’s why I asked in terms of chances.
Thanks anyway.
@@TravelingTunas and corona outbreaks
which car was it ?
It was Nissan Pathfinder
HI!
Im thinking to do same road trip! Did you rent the car or also with a driver? I Love to drive but some friends scared me saying is not possible if you don't know the roads... Im goin in July.. so nsuposuse to be dry....
Can you help me with my decision please???
Hi, we rent only car without driver and drove it by ourselves, it is possible. The road was dry in september. But if you are not sure, go with a local driver. It is up to you...
@@TravelingTunas Thanks a lot for the answer. Im going in July so I hope it will be dry!! I love driving and that road looks awesome for it :)
BTW, how many days were you around there?
Depends on your driving skills and experience. Use only 4x4 car, I drove automatic gearbox, but better and safer with manual.
Are u still alive? :D
Did you need a 4x4 to do this pass? Or could you have survived in a 2 wheel drive
Yes, we had 4x4 car
@@TravelingTunas could you have done it with a 2x4?
@Leo Wilson I dont think so
@@TravelingTunas sorry please can I be clear - you dont think its possible with a 2x4? Or you dont think a 4x4 is required?
@Leo Wilson I think it is nearly not duable with 2x4. You can have issues in some parts of the road especially if weather is not dry.
Такая красота, но муз сопровождение конечно полнейший отстой
Nothing compared to the KKH or astore road. Couple of others in those ends even more dangerous and dramatic but cannot remember the names.
M41/Pamir Highway?
Il fallait y aller en vélo.
im live in georgia
