Abano Pass ( Georgian: აბანოს უღელტეხილი) is a mountain pass located in Georgia. At 2,826 metres (9,272 ft), it is one of the highest drivable mountain passes in the Caucasus.^[1]

Location

It is located in the Central Part of the Great Caucasus Mountains and connects two regions of Georgia: Kakheti to the south and Tusheti to the north.^[2]

Drivability

Due to high altitude and snowy winters the pass is closed from mid-October till mid-April (depending on snow amount and road conditions)^{[
