Diklo Fortress Village
დიკლო
A stone tower village near the Dagestan border. The ruins of Diklo Fortress perch on a cliff with views of the main Caucasus ridge.
Diklo is one of the easternmost villages in Tusheti. Above the village, on a cliff, are the ruins of the medieval Diklo Fortress. It is a 30 to 40 minute walk from the village along a path. The clifftop has wide views, and across the valley lie the mountains on the Russian Dagestan side. Walking from Shenako takes about 1 hour, and the Omalo–Shenako–Diklo loop can be completed in one day, covering about 15 km. The ridge is windy, so protect yourself from sun and cold. Do not cross into restricted border areas.
