Devdaraki is a valley glacier on the northeastern slope of Mount Kazbek in the Mtskheta-Mtianeti region of Georgia, about 5.5 kilometers long with a surface area of 7.13 square kilometers and a tongue reaching down to 2,300 meters above sea level. The glacier is known for intense surges, especially between the late eighteenth and late nineteenth centuries, that have triggered catastrophic mudflows down the Dariali Gorge and repeatedly damaged the Georgian Military Highway; a major collapse on August 20, 2014, killed seven people. Its meltwater feeds the River Kabakhi, a tributary of the Terek River.
