Bitlis lies in Eastern Anatolia along the western and northwestern shores of Lake Van, bordered by Van, Muş, Siirt, Batman and Ağrı. Licence-plate code 13 belongs to this province of about 310,000 people in 7 districts. The Nemrut Crater Lake near Tatvan, the Seljuk gravestones of Ahlat, the imposing summit of Mount Süphan and the historic town of Bitlis squeezed into a narrow valley are its highlights. Büryan kebab is a local culinary symbol, and farming and livestock are important to the economy.

Bitlis is known for very heavy winter snowfall, and deep snow, blizzards and avalanche risk often affect the roads. The routes via Tatvan towards Van and down the Bitlis valley towards Siirt and Batman are watched closely in winter, and transport and shoreline weather on Lake Van are of interest too.
