The best possible place to find at the campsite after the exhausting day of crossing the Atsunta pass particularly if it rains and you are wet as it was in our case. Super cozy and warm inside, extremely friendly and nice host, very tasty food, drinks you don’t think you can find so high and a mind blowing view!

When you’ve been hiking for hours through the mountains, finding a place like this feels like coming home. The cafe’s delicious food hits the spot in the best way, and the views around you are just breathtaking. But what truly makes it special is Lali - the true Georgian host whose warmth and kindness instantly make you feel like family. It’s the perfect place to rest and enjoy mountains.

The best (and the only place) place you can find on your road from Ardoti to Tusheti. A trying journey, but this is the great place with great hosts, warmth, a camping site and some locally sourced food.

The best and sweetest spot after passing the Atsunta pass on your way from Tusheti to Khevsureti. After a long journey, with changing weather, this is definitely a must visit place with a campsite available in the garden. Stunning views, delicious food and friendly hosts. Plan your trek and include Cafe Shete in your wish list.

Amazing place to be after passing the atsunta pass or to start your journey. Amazing Khachapuri, very helpful. We could dry our tent in front of the oven. Right next to the boarder control station.
