Lakhiri - the village in Mestia municipality (Mulakhi community), on the southern slope of the main Dividing Ridge of the Caucasus Mountains in Svaneti, in the valley river Mulkhari, 1760m above sea level. It is located 11km far from Mestia. There is the biggest number of towers in the village Lakhiri, among the other villages.

This three-story tower has high floors that are connected with one another by vertical stairs, although you should be especially careful when climbing them. The thick walls of the tower have stood for centuries and are likely to stand for many more.

At 2,200 metres above sea level, Ushguli is one of the highest settlements in Europe, and one of the most extreme points in Svaneti, from which trails go towards the highest peaks of the Caucasus Mountains. The Ushguli community, which consists of five small villages, is connected to the outside world by the Ushguli-Mestia road and the Ushguli-Lentekhi road, the latter of which can only be taken only during the warm season, mostly during late spring to early fall, as it is often completely covered in snow for the other half of the year!
