GeographyPshavi borders upon Khevsureti to the north (the two regions were historically grouped together under the name of Pkhovi); the western fringe of Tusheti and the northernmost tip of the Pankisi Gorge to the east; the Iori Valley and Tianeti to the south-east; the Zhinvali Reservoir and the Georgian Military Road to the south and south-west; and south-eastern Mtiuleti and Gudamakari to the west. The region can be divided into three main parts (valley systems):
Protected Landscape StatusIn 2016, the Georgian government began investigating the possibility of officially granting the historical region of Pshavi "Protected Landscape" status, which would support conservation efforts while allowing the sustainable use of natural resources and the development of eco-tourism.[1] PopulationLike many other regions of the world, particularly mountainous ones, the population of Pshavi has dropped significantly as a result of a process of rural exodus which began in the nineteenth century; many former villages nowadays consist of no more than a few houses. An early twentieth-century census of Pshavi[2] counted 210 households in Pshavi "proper" and 368 in Lower Pshavi. PeopleThe Pshavs ({{lang-ka|ფშაველი}}, pshaveli, pl. {{lang-ka|ფშავლები}}, pshavlebi) speak a dialect of Georgian close to that spoken by their neighbours, the Khevsurs. Nominally Georgian Orthodox, the Pshavs have, however, like other mountain tribes preserved some of their pre-Christian beliefs, which a handful of people continue to profess in a syncretic form at the region's numerous shrines. Their history, traditions and customs are also similar to those of their eastern Georgian neighbours. [3] The popular Georgian poet Luka Razikashvili (1861-1915), best known by his pen name "Vaja-Pshavela" ("a lad from Pshavi"), was born in the village of Chargali, which now houses his "house museum".
