The Surb Khach Church stands in the village of Khando in the Akhalkalaki Municipality, in the Javakheti Highlands, approximately twelve kilometers northwest of Akhalkalaki.
The church is listed as an active church of the Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church in Georgia. Some sources refer to it by two names: Surb Khach and Surb Khachatur. A detailed construction history is not available in open sources, so no dates are given.
The village is small, with no tourist infrastructure nearby, and visitors usually arrive here on the road between the villages of Javakheti.
🕍 What to see
A functioning Armenian parish church, rural buildings, and open views of the Javakheti Highlands.
