## 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**.
