It is a small town lost on the high plateau, towards the Armenian border, where you can explore the Paravani, Kartskhati or Khantchali lakes. There are some marchroutky from Akhalkalaki. Doukhobors, a Russian sect of old believers (Orthodox who refused to reform the church), were exiled here in the 19th century. They founded the city under the name Bogdanovka.
