Tskhratskaro pass

The Tskhratskaro pass extends over 79 kilometers through the Trialeti mountain range, reaching an elevation of 2,471 meters above sea level.

The pass has functioned as a vital transportation route through Georgian mountains for generations, connecting the towns of Akhalkalaki and Borjomi.

The name Tskhratskaro translates to Pass of Nine Springs, reflecting the natural water sources that emerge from the mountainside throughout the area.

The unpaved road requires a four-wheel drive vehicle and contains multiple checkpoints where authorities examine travel documentation before permitting passage.

The route provides direct views of Mount Elbrus peaks and Tabatskuri Lake while crossing through the protected Ktsia-Tabatskuri Managed Reserve.
