The source of the Khmost is in the west of Dukhovshchina District, north of the village of Vasino. It flows south and downstream of the village of Botino makes the border between Dukhovshchinsky and Smolensky Districts. A short stretch of the river crosses Smolensky District, then the river turns east and forms the border between Dukhovshchinsky and Kardymovsky Districts. In the village of Lisichino, it departs from the border and flows southeast through Kardymovsky District. The mouth of the Khmost is south of the village of Ryzhkovo.
