The fortress is located 1 km off the road, half way between Tianeti and Akhmeta. But please be aware that the "road" between Tianeti and Akhmeta, shown on most maps in fact is a 21 km long mountain dirt road for which I would recommending a 4W drive, even I saw several 2W drive cars dragging along with some 10km/h and probably touching ground more than once. The last 1-1.5 km up-hill to the fortress are challenging, even with a 4W-Drive. So in case of doubt ... better take a walk!](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248635974547304/596ae312-d854-4c43-9eaa-399504557006.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![July 2010 Chesho village, Tusheti region, Caucasus, Georgia Chesho is a village between Dartlo and Parsma in a lovely bend of the Pirikiti Alazani river.

The fortress originally served as protection against Mongol invaders and later against Dagestani invaders. It was mostly used only in summer months when the raids were usual. In winter people lived in the village below the fortress. It has lost its purpose in 19th century after the Russians allied with local Tushs. It was abandoned and destroyed during World War II. In 2003 the reconstruction started and sponsored by a Dutch family. Many of the towers were built back from ruins, accomodating a museum of local tradition with many old photos from the region. Keselo is few tens of metres over the village Kvemo (=Upper) Omalo, which is a usual starting point for trek west to Shatili in Khevsureti region or day hikes to Shenako or Diklo villages to the east. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/3000034617/61df1f3e-8267-4f8d-89c6-76dbf6b02e74.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ## Visit Akhmeta Things to do - Akhmeta Hotel Deals - Vacation Rentals in Akhmeta ![Hotel Samzeo](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/37000000/36380000/36374400/36374340/8a4b4932_y.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=340&ch=150) ### Hotel Samzeo Tusheti Akhmeta Kakheti Book a stay at this business-friendly hotel in Akhmeta.
