Hidden high in the mountains of Oni Municipality, the Sasvano Lakes are a cluster of pristine alpine lakes nestled amid the rugged peaks of Upper Racha. Crystal-clear waters reflect the surrounding snow-capped mountains, creating a serene and photogenic landscape that captivates hikers, nature lovers, and photographers alike. The lakes are surrounded by lush alpine meadows, wildflower fields, and traditional grazing pastures, offering an authentic glimpse into the seasonal life of highland communities.

Accessible via scenic hiking trails from nearby villages such as Ghebi and Chiora, the Sasvano Lakes are best visited from late spring to early autumn, when mountain paths are open and wildflowers are in bloom. This area offers both a tranquil retreat and an adventurous trekking experience, allowing visitors to connect deeply with the unspoiled natural beauty and cultural heritage of Oni’s highlands.

Alternatively, a 3-day cross-municipal hike can take you from Oni to Lower Svaneti (Lentekhi), where you will experience Sasvano lakes on the way. See trail details here.
