From the summit of Mets Parakhadem, there is an impressive view of Mount Ararat. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy the view of Ararat. This is one of the reasons why the route has become one of the most popular in Armenia.
We’ll start the hike near Tigranashen. Passing along the slopes of the Urts Mountains, we’ll ascend the rocky peak of Mets Parakhadem.
