Lake Mravaldzali, also known as Lake Cholevi, is located near the village of the same name, Oni Municipality, among the natural attractions of the region, at an elevation of 1,840 metres. The lake is surrounded by forested mountains, and its water has a greenish tint. The best panorama opens from Mount Khikhati, offering a wide view over the surrounding Racha landscape.
The shoreline is marshy and covered with aquatic plants, so swimming isn't really an option here, but the forests and fields around the lake suit a picnic or a night of tent camping under the stars. According to reviews, the road to the village is paved, with several kilometres of unpaved track continuing to the lake itself.
A fair warning about the site's condition is worth including. Several independent visitors across different languages note that litter turns up in places around the lake, detracting from an otherwise calm and scenic spot. If you're planning a picnic, take your rubbish with you.
