Location

It is located in the Central Part of the Great Caucasus Mountains and connects two regions of Georgia: Kakheti on the south and Tusheti on the north.

Drivability

Due to high altitude and snowy winters the pass is closed from mid-October till mid-April (depending on snow amount and road conditions). The damaged road surface allows only 4x4 cars to go through.
