While I have no ambition to write a complex guide to Pankisi gorge, I need to touch on some points since this region IS different from almost any other in Georgia. It departs like each other day in the morning, so it can´t be relied upon. These drivers usually pick up passengers for a symbolic price but the truck has no fixed schedule. Therefore, your best bet will be locals heading to Omalo for a visit - but it may take a while until some show up.Īnother option is the Kamaz truck which brings supplies from the lowlands to Omalo. Professional drivers will rarely pick you up for free. And even when they are not, tourists might be reluctant to pick someone who just walked a few hundred meters beyond the departure point and raised a thumb (especially if he is dressed up in Arc´teryx gear like a couple of "travel hackers" we saw there the last time :)). Hitchhiking can be "hit or miss" since jeeps traveling to Omalo are usually booked by tourists and full. Therefore, even if you have your own car, for this stretch of the road, it may be better to use the service of the local driver. Still, the accidents happen here and the road claims a few lives every year. In navigates pretty steep mountainside but the road is usually wide enough and unless you are passing another car and need to navigate to the very edge of the road, there is no reason to feel nervous. BBC once placed it among the "10 Most Dangerous Roads in the World", but with a good driver, it definitely doesn´t feel like that. The ride to Omalo takes about 4-5 hours and costs 70+ GEL per passenger (or about 350-400 GEL for the whole jeep). This is the place from which depart jeeps to Tusheti so if you get here before noon, you should be easily able to hire a driver. In Kvemo Alvani, the bus or taxi will drop you at the main (and the only) junction. If you want to take a taxi from Tbilisi to Alvani instead of a bus, the price can be anywhere 100 and 150 GEL (it grows with your distance from the Ortachala station :)) Or they simply want to hook you up with the jeep driver from Telavi but that is OK if the price is right. Just confirm with the driver that he is going all the way to Alvani, they sometimes try to drop passengers in Telavi in order to make them hire another taxi to Alvani. Drivers are used to tourists and often arrange them further transport to Tusheti. The marshrutka departs from Ortachala bus station in Tbilisi at 9.am and arrives at Alvani two hours later (price 15 GEL). If you are traveling from Tbilisi, you will first need to get to Kvemo Alvani village - this can be done by marshrutka or a taxi. To get to Omalo, you will need to hire a driver with 4WD. If you select this option and try removing the white color, then only the area around the donut will disappear but the inside of the donut will remain opaque.There is no public transport to Tusheti. For example, if you have a PNG of a donut on white background, then the white color will be both inside and outside of the donut. Additionally, we have added an option "Match Outer Pixels Only", which lets you remove only those areas that are in contact with the outer edges of the image. This way, you don't have to know the name or code of the transparent color and you can make the PNG transparent by simply clicking on the color in the PNG. For example, if you click a green pixel, then all greenish pixels will be made transparent. Also, you can interactively click on the input PNG to instantly remove any color and its tones. By increasing the smoothness radius, you can remove more pixels from the edges and make PNG clearer. This option makes the pixels on the border between transparency and opacity semi-transparent. If you remove the color and the edges of the image still have a pixel or two of the old color, you can refine the edges and smooth them by enabling the "Smooth Edges" checkbox. For example, if the color that you're removing is red, then it will also remove cherry-red, rose-red, wine-red, and similar shades of red. By default, 30% similar color tones are matched but you can change it as you see fit. To match similar color tones, enter the similarity percentage in the settings. This online browser program replaces any solid color and its close color tones in a Portable Network Graphics (PNG) photo or picture with transparent pixels.
