The Bovakar Mountain Range snakes across Lori and Tavush provinces, being the southern continuation of the Gugarats Mountains. The range begins at Mount Bazeakar in the Gugarats Range and extends southwest to Mount Kaptasar, at which point it turns northwest to Mount Bovakar. From here, the range turns southwest until Mount Kaputak before turning northwest again and ending at the Gailadzor Gorge. The north-western and southern slopes of the range are thickly wooded.

The peak of Mount Bovakar is located in Lori Province in northern Armenia, 6 km from the village of Margahovit. The Alareks tributary of the Pambak River rises on the eastern slope of the mountain, which has a flat, table-shaped summit. The slopes of Mount Bovakar are covered with ample rock, as well as sub-alpine and alpine vegetation.
