Beautiful Svaneti - Russia

 Blogger mg5642 has shared the best pictures of a trip to beautiful Svaneti, the mountainous paradise of Georgia. The main places he visited were Adishi and Ushguli villages full of interesting architecture. You can imagine how nice it is to be there, on a green valley neighbouring huge glaciers, how clean that air is, 

 One of towers in Adishi, this one is at least 500 years old!

 Two or three hours later we come to the gorgeous glacier Lardaad.

 "Ant piles" and an ice mass in the background.

 Elevation of those peaks reaches three kilometers!

 The field of elecampanes.

 The travelers can stay overnight here.

 The next destination of the trip is Inguri valley.

 The height of this mountain named Shkhara is 5203 m.

 It's a real winter out there on the heights but beneath the mountain we still enjoy summer.

 Looks like a huge natural carpet!

 We have finally come down to Ushguri to see the eleventh century tower.

Ushguli is considered to be the highest settlement in the mountains in all Europe (2200 m). The place attracts many tourists.

 Ushguli is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

 There is a historic museum inside this tower.

 Ushba - 4710 m. This mountain is considered to be one of the most difficult for climbing.
