Khuko Lake sits at coordinates 43°56'18"N and 39°48'12"E, reaching an elevation of 1900 meters within the Western Caucasus mountain range.
The lake formation occurred through tectonic movements that shaped the Western Caucasus region, creating distinct geological features in the mountainous landscape.
