Geographical position
The village is located in the southern part of the Botlikh region, between the rivers Ansalta and Gadaro in the gorge of the Andean Koisu , 160 km south-west of Makhachkala . The road passing through the Harami pass (2177 m) leads to Chechnya ( Vedeno ).
The nearest settlements are Ashino , Rahata and Tando in the northwest, Tasuta in the northeast, Muni in the east, Kwanhidatli and Lower Inhelo in the southeast, Alak in the south and Miarso in the southwest.
Etymology
There are several versions regarding the origin of the name of the village.
According to the most common of them, the toponym Botlikh goes back to the Avar ( avar. Bo Lalkh ), where bo is “army” and lalkh is “halt”, and in translation means “place of halt of troops”. This name is explained by the fact that earlier on the territory of modern Botlikh, detachments from Mountain Dagestan gathered to raid East Georgia.
According to another version, the name of the village possibly goes back to the word baili , which means “on the edge” or “on the crest”. Perhaps this name dates back to the fact that initially the aul was founded precisely on the edge of the ravine, the place most suitable for fortifications. Defensive walls, which also served as walls for dwellings, on the banks of the Gadaro River, opposite Mount Tsagun, have still been preserved. For those who threatened the security of the village from the south and east, these fortifications were a difficult obstacle.
History
In 1859, Field Marshal Alexander Ivanovich Baryatinsky laid the Transfiguration Fortress . The fortress blocked the only road that ran along the valley of the Andean Koisu River. Later [ when? ] due to severe climatic conditions and the outbreak of malaria epidemic, the fortress was moved down the valley to the newly built iron bridge. At present, two of the three towers and the fortress wall that blocked the gorge are more or less preserved.
In 1999, militants invaded the Botlikh region, which marked the beginning of the Second Chechen War .
In September 12, 2019, Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived in Botlikh, where a memorial was also opened [3] for the fallen natives of the village during World War II , who fought in Afghanistan and fought together with the Russian military in 1999, in the Dagestan War . [four]

The main occupation of the inhabitants of Botlikh has historically been gardening with artificial irrigation: apricots , peaches , plums , pears , apples , and walnuts are grown .
Cattle breeding , unlike other villages in the region, played a supporting role for the Botlikhs.
