The total length of the hike is 11 km, and from the summit, hikers can relish in incomparable views of the Pambak, Gegama, Sevan, Vardenis, and Areguni ranges. The Sevan Peninsula is clearly discernible. Throughout the journey, hikers are accompanied by the azure-eyed beauty of Sevan. The hike concludes near the city of Sevan.
