[5][b] The village is located on a forest clearing 1580 m above sea level on the slope of Mount Cherekhkort, on the left bank of the Guloykhi River, not far from the border with Georgia.

On the neighboring slope, across a mountain stream, there are ruins of more structures, usually called "Upper Koki", which are easily visible from the Guloy-khi gorge.

[7] Within the village there are 3 dilapidated above-ground collective crypt tombs of the late Middle Ages, situated on a mountain slope.

In 1911, the inhabitants of Koki (Kek) and the neighboring village of Nelkh (Nilkh) were deported to the Irkutsk and Yenisei provinces in Siberia.

[12][13] According to historian Makka Albogachieva, near the village Keï of the Tsorin society exists a mountain pack trail located by a small river called Kukurkhoy-khi.
