Lepushe
From your starting point at Qafe Perdolec, you will meet your guide(s) at the cafe meeting point at 11 am and then hike to the summer encampment of your host family, near Lepushe.
Once there, for the next two days you will be invited to take part in their daily activities, which include milking the sheep, following the family members as they take their livestock out to graze in the high pastures, experiencing home life inside their Stan and learning to prepare milk, cheese and other local dishes the way that Malesore shepherds have learnt to do for generations!
