Paddleboarding on Azat reservoir is rapidly gaining popularity. In 2021, Armenian Geographic began to organize SUP tours in Azat reservoir. After we shared the photos taken during these SUP tours, more and more people became interested in this place, as well as in paddleboarding.

Paddleboarding on Azat Reservoir

Azat reservoir is located in the Ararat Region in Armenia. It is situated at an altitude of 1050 meters above sea level, holds 70 million cubic meters of water and is used for irrigation of the Ararat valley. The reservoir is built on Azat River. The upper reaches of this river, together with the Geghard Monastery, are included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

The reservoir is one of the favorite places for fishermen, as it is home to many fish species. In recent years, more and more people have been visiting this reservoir. All because it is very beautiful. The wonderful landscapes attract locals and tourists.

For paddle boarding on Aparan reservoir we will be heading to the west of Armenia – Aragatsotn province, where the highest mountain of Armenia is located.

The Aparan reservoir was built on the Kasagh river between 1962 and 1967.

The high mountain peaks surrounding the reservoir are reflected on its clear waters and while paddling there it feels like you’re floating in the mountains.

Our guide will meet you in Yerevan and together you will travel to Aparan reservoir to start your paddle boarding experience.
On the left bank of the Aparan reservoir the St Peter and Paul church is situated, which was built in the first half of the 5th century. After the construction of the reservoir starting from 1967 this church is being swallowed by the water and remains underwater for 3-4 months every year. So we will visit the monastery anyway, whether on foot or on SUP depending on the water level. This is gonna be a very unique experience.

Do not hesitate, just contact us and we will organize the best paddle boarding experience for you here in Armenia.

Paddle boarding or SUP boarding is a very fun and relaxing activity which can be done on lakes, rivers, reservoirs. It is also a great full body workout, as you use your whole body to control the board. During paddle boarding you can explore the water without swimming and getting wet.

Though this is one of the fastest growing water sports in the world, in Armenia it is not a common type of water activity.
