The Mulkhra or Mulkhura (Georgian: მულხრა, მულხურა) is a river in Mestia Municipality, Georgia, right tributary of the Enguri. [1] It is located in the region Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti, in the northwestern part of the country, 230 km (140 mi) northwest of the capital Tbilisi. Length 27 km (17 mi), basin area 435 km2 (168 sq mi). It originates on the southern slope of the Svaneti Caucasus main ridge, on the Tviberi Glacier and joins the Enguri River near the village Kvanchianari.
