Chokhatauri Municipality
Chokhatauri Municipality — overview
History
Chokhatauri Municipality is located in western Georgia, in the Guria region, and its administrative centre is Chokhatauri. An official-style overview describes the municipality as lying at around 150 m above sea level and bordering Samtredia and Vani (north/east directions), Khulo and Adigeni (south), and Ozurgeti and Lanchkhuti (west).
The municipality is widely recognised for its strong nature-and-highland identity: forested slopes, river valleys, and access routes into the Adjara–Guria mountain landscape. The best-known highlight is Bakhmaro, a mountain climatic resort explicitly placed in Chokhatauri Municipality; sources describe it on the Adjara–Guria range at roughly 2,050 m elevation.
Another distinctive place is Nabeghlavi, described as a village and balneological resort in Chokhatauri Municipality, set in a river valley and associated with mineral-water springs. Travel descriptions note it at about 475 m elevation and roughly 22 km from Chokhatauri.
General overviews also mention scattered cultural and historical monuments in the district (e.g., Bukistsikhe fortress and the Udabno monastic complex), suggesting that Chokhatauri can be developed as a combined route: highland resort experiences, valley nature and water culture, plus heritage stops.
One descriptive page provides additional municipal context: area 820 km², population (2017) 18,415, and a settlement structure of 2 townships and 60 villages (replace these figures if your official dataset differs).
