Bakhmaro, Mountain resort in Chokhatauri Municipality, Georgia
Description
Bakhmaro is a mountain settlement in the Meskheti Range at 1950 meters elevation, with wooden structures nestled among dense spruce and fir forests. The village spreads across a high plateau surrounded by mountain peaks and forest edges.
History
The settlement gained importance after physician Artem Davidiantsi documented the health benefits of its mountain air in 1892. This medical recognition led to its development as a resort destination attracting people seeking therapeutic benefits.
Culture
The settlement hosts annual August festivities for the Transfiguration holiday, featuring traditional horse races that draw locals and visitors. These celebrations reflect customs rooted in the region's mountain culture and community traditions.
Practical
Winter travel requires snowmobile transportation due to snow conditions, whereas summer visitors can arrive via shared minibuses from nearby towns like Ozurgeti or Chokhatauri. Access depends largely on the season and mountain weather patterns.

The geographical position between Gadrekili and Sakornia mountains allows visitors to view both sunrise and sunset across the mountainous landscape from the same location. This rare opportunity results from the settlement's unique positioning within the mountain range.
