Ushguli, nestled in the Svaneti region of Georgia, is Europe's highest continually inhabited settlement, known for its breathtaking landscapes and traditional medieval architecture. It's part of the UNESCO World Heritage site that includes Upper Svaneti, recognized for its distinctive tower houses built primarily between the 9th and 12th centuries. These structures are photogenic, especially against the backdrop of the snow-capped Caucasus Mountains. Ushguli comprises four small villages, with Chazhashi being the most iconic. Visit in late spring or summer when the roads are more accessible, and the area bursts with wildflowers. The trek from Mestia to Ushguli offers photogenic panoramas, enhancing any photo-traveler’s experience.
