Chadis Tsikhe: The Ghost Village in the Mountains

Chadis Tsikhe, a hauntingly beautiful abandoned village, is located in the Dusheti Municipality, high in the Mtskheta-Mtianeti region of Georgia. Situated on the eastern slopes of the Alevi Range, the village sits at an elevation of 1500 meters. Once part of the Pasanauri community, it's approximately 54 kilometers from Dusheti. Chadis Tsikhe offers a glimpse into Georgia's past. The village's traditional stone houses, now weathered by time and the elements, cling to the mountainside, creating a dramatic and evocative scene. The silence is broken only by the wind whistling through the empty window frames and the occasional birdsong. While no one resides in the village today , it remains a captivating destination for those interested in history, rural landscapes, and the poignant beauty of abandonment. Visitors can explore the ruins of the village, imagining what life was like for the families who once called this place home. The panoramic views of the surrounding mountains are breathtaking, offering a sense of solitude and connection with nature. Though the village itself is the main attraction, the surrounding area offers opportunities for hiking and exploring the natural beauty of the Alevi Range.
