Ushguli: The village on the roof of Europe that you must visit

🌄 If you're looking for a destination that's both tranquil and picturesque, Ushguli, Georgia, is the answer! Perched 2,100 meters above sea level amidst the majestic Caucasus Mountains, Ushguli is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the highest permanent villages in Europe. 🏰 Comprising four small villages: Zhibiani, Chvibiani, Chazhashi, and Murqmeli, it's filled with ancient stone towers, traditional houses, and ancient churches that reflect the rich Svaneti culture. ⛪ A must-see is the Lamaria Church, perched on a hillside, offering views of the snow-capped Shkhara peaks year-round, making it a stunning spot for sunrises. 🥾 Nature lovers will love the hiking trail to the Shkhara Glacier, or the equally breathtaking drive through the Zagari Pass. 🍲 Don't forget to sample traditional Svan cuisine made with local ingredients and sip on warm herbal tea in the cool air. 📸 Whether it's the lush summer months, Whether it's the white winter, Ushguli has a unique charm at every moment. 🧳 Ready to travel? Ushguli awaits you to experience its timeless beauty. #Ushguli #Georgia #TravelGeorgia #WorldHeritage #CaucasusMountains #Svaneti #EuropeanVillage #Naturelover #TravelAbroad #GeorgiaTravel #HiddenGem
