About Shaori Lake
A reservoir lake at about 1,100 m on the Nakerala ridge between Tkibuli and Ambrolauri, ringed by meadows and forest. It is a scenic stop on the mountain road into Racha rather than a destination in itself.
Travel Tips

Three quiet days in Racha, a mountain region in north-west Georgia with few visitors. You see the carved façade of the 11th-century Nikortsminda Cathedral on the way to Ambrolauri, spend a day in Upper Racha around Oni and the upper Rioni valley, and taste the region's semi-sweet red Khvanchkara at family wineries before leaving past Shaori lake. Between April and July you can add a rafting day on the Rioni (extreme section, adults only, strong swimmers). Day one and day three are long drives of 4.5–6 hours; the reward is a region most tours miss.
