Takhti-Tepha Natural Monument

The natural monument spans 9.7 hectares and contains multiple mud craters that continuously release mud, oil, and gas from the ground.

The geological formation has developed over centuries through natural processes, forming distinctive mud volcanoes at 620 meters above sea level.

The local geological site serves as an educational center where scientists study the relationships between hydrocarbon emissions and geological processes.

Visitors can access the site via a 0.5-kilometer pedestrian path, with accommodations available in nearby Dedoplistskaro, 37 kilometers away.

The largest mud crater measures between 3.5 to 4 meters in diameter, producing continuous flows of viscous mud and gases.
