Dzhimara, Mountain summit on the Russia–Georgia border, North Ossetia–Alania, Russia

Dzhimara (also Dzhimaray Khokh) is a 4,780 m summit on the Khokh Range, 9 km west of Mount Kazbek, on the Russia–Georgia border. Its upper part is largely covered by firn fields, and four glaciers descend from its slopes: Midagrabin to the west, Kolka to the north, and Western and Central Suatisi to the south. The massif consists of Early–Middle Jurassic clay shales, argillites and sandstones, with outcrops of the Pliocene Dzhimara massif of granodiorites and quartz diorites.

The border between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Georgia runs along Dzhimara's summit. The mountain lies on the Khokh Range, 9 km west of Mount Kazbek, and its name appears in Russian, Georgian and Ossetic forms. The lower slopes expose the Pliocene Dzhimara massif of granodiorite and quartz diorite, formed in pulses 3.7 to 2.0 million years ago.

The name Dzhimara appears in several forms: Dzhimarayy Khokh in Ossetic, Jimara in Georgian and the older Kolkay-Khokh in Russian usage. The Ossetic form adds khokh, "mountain", to the name. The peak stands on the Khokh Range, 9 km west of Mount Kazbek, and its glaciers feed the Suatisi, Dzhimaradon and Genaldon rivers.

Reaching the summit requires proper climbing gear and valid permits from both Russian and Georgian authorities, since the peak sits on the international border. Only those with solid mountaineering experience should attempt the climb, as conditions on the upper slopes can change fast.

The summit sits on the state border between Russia and Georgia, so the mountain belongs to two countries at once. Its four glaciers feed different rivers on each side: Midagrabin and Kolkа on the north slope, Western and Central Suatisi on the south. The Kolkа glacier descends the northern slope, while the Suatisi, Dzhimaradon and Tepidon rise on the southern side.
