We Joined The Shepherds For A Day In The Caucasus Mountains

Every time I get the chance of exploring a place on horseback, I will take it.

The small village of Stepantsminda in the Caucasus mountains offered the possibility of “horse riding for tourists” but this time I was hoping for an authentic experience.

However, I was disappointed to see that tourism touched this corner of Georgia even more than the other places we visited. Everything changed when we hiked up to the Gergeti Trinity Church though and met these shepherds who invited us to join them for a day and night.
