Shkhara

Shkhara is a mountain peak and the highest point in Georgia. It is located on the Georgia???Russia border, in Russia's Kabardino-Balkaria region on the northern side, and the Svaneti region of Georgia in the south. Shkhara is the highest peak of the Greater Caucasus Mountain Range since both Elbrus and Dykhtau are located along the side ranges, which lie to the north of it. Shkhara lies 88 kilometres (55??mi) north of Kutaisi, Georgia's second-largest city, and right at the townlet of Mestia. The summit lies in the central part of the Greater Caucasus Mountain Range, south-east of Mount Elbrus, Europe's highest mountain. Shkhara is the third-highest peak in the Caucasus, just behind Dykh-Tau.
