Shkhara is the highest point in the nation of Georgia. Located in the Svaneti region along the Georgia–Russia border, Shkhara lies 88 kilometres north of the city of Kutaisi, Georgia's second-largest city. The summit lies in the central part of the Greater Caucasus Mountain Range, to the south-east of Mount Elbrus, Europe's highest mountain. Shkhara is the third-highest peak in the Caucasus, just behind Dykh-Tau.
Shkhara is the high point and the eastern anchor of a massif known as the Bezingi Wall, a 12-kilometre-long ridge. It is a large, steep peak in a heavily glaciated region, and presents serious challenges to mountaineers. Its north face is 1,500 metres high and contains several classic difficult routes. The significant sub-summit Shkhara West, at 5,068 m , is a climbing objective in its own right, and a traverse of the entire Bezingi Wall is considered "Europe's longest, most arduous, and most committing expedition".
