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.
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.
Drivability
Due to high altitude and snowy winters the pass is closed from mid-October till mid-June (depending on snow amount and road conditions)[citation needed]. The damaged road surface allows only 4x4 vehicles to go through.
