Within three hour drive from Batumi, in Adjarian mountains, a little village exists that will absolutely take your breath away from the first sight.
This tiny village in the municipality of Khulo connects to the outer world by a cable car, which is known to be the fastest way of transportation from Khulo to the village named Tago. This cable car is the second longest one in Europe.
The adventure begins from the first moment you enter the cable car. It might be a bit frightful in the beginning, however, once you take a look at the huge mountain!s with their tops covered with clouds, you instantly slip into a vastly different world where there is no noise and only clean fresh air.
Once the cable car stops, you’ll find yourself in a completely new part of Georgia. It is hard to believe, that only 86 kilometres away from Batumi, such an isolated and serene place exists.
After getting out of the cable car, a narrow path leads inside the village. Once taking the path, you are surrounded by mountains and clouds. Georgia is a multicultural country, a big part of the population of Adjara are Muslims. Therefore, there is a mosque in the village. If you are lucky enough, you may hear how the Imam performs an evening prayer. It’s a bit surprising and absolutely magnificent to hear how the echo of the prayers spreads nearly above the clouds.
Travellers love camping and hiking here since there are a lot of broad fields and areas giving you the chance to get the best of it. Camping experience Khulo offers travellers from around the world a tent in one of the most beautiful places of Adjara. Camping in Tago is definitely one of the best options for campers and hikers who plan to visit Georgia.

As people are not visiting Tago very often, when it happens, the residents of Tago take good care of their guests. The famous Great Georgian hospitality is felt clearly here. At the end of the day, visitors are able to relax by the campfire and share their impressions with one another.
