Armkhi (Ingush: МохтIе, Moxthe; Russian: Армхи) is a village in Dzheyrakhsky District of the Republic of Ingushetia, located on the Armkhi or Kistinka river (Ingush: Ӏарам-хий, Кисти-хий, Aram-khi, Kisti-khiï; Georgian: ქისტეთისწყალი, Kistetistskali; Russian: Армхи, Кистинка).
[8] Doctor of historical sciences and archaeologist Evgeniy Krupnov wrote: The ancient habitat of the Kists or Kistins is determined quite accurately.
It is the Armkhi gorge — the right tributary of the Terek, 22 km south of the city of Ordzhonikidze, because this river was called in Georgian "Kistetistskali" and "Kistinka" in Russian sources; neighboring Ossetians call it "Makal-don".In 1928 a sanatorium was established adjacent to the village, making it one of the oldest sanatoriums in the North Caucasus.
Recently a ski resort was built, along with a hotel, pools and a year-round recreation center.
The closest rural localities to Armkhi are Beini to the northeast, Dzheyrakh to the northwest, and Lyazhgi and Olgeti to the east.
