Truso Valley, spanning from the source of the Terek (Tergi) River to Almasiani village, stands nearly deserted by the local populace.

Throughout the valley, numerous abandoned villages, complete with ancient towers and remnants of fortifications, dot the landscape.

It can be observed that some of the fortified settlements in Truso Valley rival those found in Khevsureti and Tusheti in both size and architectural significance. Villages such as Mna (in Mna Valley), Ketrisi, Abano, Zakagori, Karatkhau, Burmasigi, Tepi, and Resi are notable examples. Resi village, situated at the highest elevation (2400 m / 7874 ft) in Georgia, though abandoned today, once held the distinction of being among the highest settlements in both Georgia and Europe.

The Truso Travertines, formed by mineral-rich springs within the valley, offer a captivating sightseeing experience.

Bisna exclusively offers journeys into the uppermost reaches of Truso Valley.

Embark on a voyage to Truso Valley with Bisna and immerse yourself in the enigmatic aura of its abandoned fortified villages.
