Abano Pass is a high-altitude mountain pass, reaching an elevation of 2,864 meters above sea level, situated between the Kakheti and Tusheti regions of Georgia. This rugged and remote road is only open from May to October, making it accessible for a limited time each year.

The road is infamous for its extreme conditions, with steep drops, unpaved sections, and unpredictable weather.
