Bavari — High-Mountain Tranquility in Lower Svaneti
In the Racha-Lechkumi and Lower Svaneti region, within the Lentekhi Municipality, lies the village of Bavari. Built at an elevation of 1,240 meters above sea level on the southern slopes of the Svaneti Ridge, this settlement is one of the highest and almost deserted villages of the region. Bavari charms visitors with its harsh but majestic nature and the unhurried rhythm characteristic of mountain villages.
Geography and Nature
The village is located in the valley of the Kheledula River (a right tributary of the Tskhenistskali). The local landscape is rich in dense deciduous and coniferous forests and green meadows. The climate is healthy—with cool summers and snowy winters, creating the best conditions for those seeking closeness to nature. The surroundings of Bavari are great for hiking and photography.
Local Lifestyle
Today, only a few people live in Bavari (only 11 people according to 2014 data). Despite the small population, the village maintains its spirit and tranquility. The daily life of the population is closely tied to animal husbandry and small-scale farming. A visit to Bavari allows you to feel the true spirit of Svaneti and relax far from urban noise.
