Lake Okhoje, also known as Patara Toba or Small Toba, is located on the Egrisi ridge, Tsalenjikha... (correction: Chkhorotsku Municipality), among the natural attractions of the region, at an elevation of 2,550 metres. It's the first lake on the classic route to Tobavarchkhili: most hikers reach it before the others, often making their first overnight stop here after the Natipuru campsite.
According to reviews, there's a convenient alternative for those with less time: you can drive by 4x4 to Natipuru and complete a shorter three-day round trip just to Okhoje, without tackling the full seven-day route to Tobavarchkhili. Worth noting that the final stretch of the climb can be heavily snow-covered even in mid-summer, and evenings here are cold, especially late in the season, in late September.
The lake is surrounded by granite cliffs, with flat green areas nearby suited to camping. For the full route across the whole lake group, coordinates and practical tips, see the guide Toba Lakes of the Egrisi Ridge.
