Pkhovi, also known as Pkhoeti (ფხოეთი), is a medieval term for the mountainous district in northeast Georgia comprising the latter-day provinces of Pshavi and Khevsureti along the upper reaches of the Aragvi, and in three alpine valleys just north of the main crest of the Greater Caucasus. Today it is territory of Dusheti Municipality, Mtskheta-Mtianeti region.
