Khevsureti is another beautiful highland region of Georgia.
Its villages Shatili, Arkhoti and Mutso were defensive towns, which is
obvious by their impressive towers.
Khevsurians are expert cattle-breeders, so their main diet is meat. Their most delicious meal
is Khinkali, a boiled meat dumpling, which is now popular in all the
regions of Georgia.
On the rocky slopes of Khevsureti, aurochs still wander. To hunt
them takes a great deal of skill, since they are most difficult to
chase. If one does manage to catch them, their meat is most delicious
and rare. Khevsureti is also famous for its poetry lovers. Poetry
festivals are frequently held, and, most of the participants can create
the finest poetic samples spontaneously. Georgians are not the only
people interested in preserving this prettiest of regions in its
primordial form. The World Bank financed a major project to protect and
preserve historical Shatili buildings, for future generations of
Georgians and their guests.
