“Very rarely do Westerners think of our own body as fresh meat. Very rarely do we consider ourselves the food of another living being...»

This was the opening of this wonderful 2018 article by I. Merino in the newspaper El País. He spoke about the tigers of India’s Sundarbans region and their complicated relationship with humans. Although they are more numerous in the marshes of Bengal, the best opportunities to observe tigers in their natural habitat are in the reserves of central India.

In this 12-day trip to Georgia designed to coincide with Easter, we combine cultural visits with walks through what many consider the Caucasus’s finest trekking scenery.
We cross the country by train towards the mountainous Svaneti region, where we can admire villages known for their defensive towers.

We stay in rural guesthouses where we can sample the rich cuisine and experience the culture of these Caucasian villages first-hand.
