HIKE TO THE WESTERN PEAK OF MOUNT ARAGATS 4001M

Details

Armland Adventure Club organizes individual ascents to the Western peak of Aragats (4001m). Aragats is an extinct volcano, as a result of the eruption four peaks were formed. The second highest is the western one.

The starting point of the route is Lake Kari at an altitude of 3200 m, formed as a result of melting snow.

A rocky path leads to the top of the mountain. Throughout the hike from the south, the mysterious Ararat accompanies, which is sometimes lost in the fog. From the top there is a beautiful view of the crater and the other three peaks.

The name of the mountain “Aragats” (Ara, -gah-throne) in translation from Armenian means the throne of Ara the Beautiful. Namely, Mount Ara is located nearby.
