Bateti Lake, Mountain lake in Shida Kartli, Georgia.

Bateti Lake is a mountain lake situated in Shida Kartli at an elevation of around 1300 meters in the Dzama River valley. The body of water covers a small area and reaches a maximum depth of approximately twelve meters.

Bateti Lake formed when a major landslide in the Dzama River valley created a natural barrier that trapped water. This geological event shaped the water body that exists in the landscape today.

The lake lies in the valley of the Batetistskali, a tributary stream in the Dzama river basin, near the village of Kodmani in Kareli Municipality. Its name comes from that stream, and the water leaves the lake as a small outflow. The southern shore is marshy, while the rest is ringed by slopes covered in coniferous and beech forest.

Reaching the lake requires walking about three kilometers on an unpaved path from the nearest road. During wet weather, traveling with an off-road vehicle is advisable to handle muddy conditions.

The lake is home to the near-threatened Ommatotriton ophryticus, the northern banded newt, which is listed in Georgia's Red Book. The Georgian source also records trout in the water. The southern shore is marshy, and from December to March the surface is covered by ice.
