Oreti Lake
ორეთის ტბა
A glacial cirque lake high in the mountains about 2,600 m above sea level, south of Omalo. It is a popular day-hike destination from Omalo.
Oreti Lake lies in the ridges about 8 km south of Omalo. The round-trip hike takes about 6 to 7 hours and involves roughly 800 m of climbing. Along the way you pass through forest, meadows and pastures. From the lakeshore the views are wide, stretching over the Tusheti mountains and stone-tower villages. Trail markings are limited, so download offline maps or arrange a guide or horse through your guesthouse. Mountain weather changes quickly, and afternoons often bring fog and thunderstorms. Set out early and carry enough water and a windproof jacket.
