Karagoli Lake is also known as "Black Lake" (Shavi Tba). The Karagoli lakes are situated near the Sari-Chairi summer pastures. The lake is accessible by 4WD vehicle from Baki-Bako village, as well as from the direction of Shuakhevi via the military road connecting Chirukhi and Baki-Bako. The area surrounding the lake forms an alpine marshland. Traditional summer pastures (*ialaghis*)—where local residents have driven their livestock for centuries—are still preserved here today.
