Everyday readers of this blog are already familiar - author of this blog has been spending his days in Georgia for more than five years (since 2011).
I have traveled Georgia forth and back, with just two major destinations been excluded from my travel map - regions of Svaneti and Racha. I hope I will cover these parts of Georgia anytime soon.
Since author…
Shaori Reservoir is an artificial lake located in the region of Racha, Georgia - some 170 km northwest of the capital Tbilisi.
I first visited it in mid-October 2022, during our first trip to Racha
The Shaori reservoir stretches from the southwest to the northeast, its length is 7.1 kilometers, the greatest width is 2.7 kilometers.
The greatest depth is 14.5 meters, the average depth is 9.8 meters, the area is 9.2 km². The volume of water is 90.6 million m³. It is fed by tributaries and precipitation that falls on its surface (1500 mm per year).
The banks of the reservoir are mostly low and steep, in some places they are flat.
I can see some great tourism potential here.
