Climbing Mountain Aragats

Aragats is a lonely extinct volcano, the highest mountain of nowadays Armenia. Mount Aragats is a majestic natural monument with four peaks – Northern – 4090.1 meters, Western – 3995.3 m, Eastern – 3908.2 meters, Southern – 3887.8 meters. During our hike we will climb the Southern peak.

At the beginning of the tour, we will pick you up from your hotel and move to the Lake Kari. The lake is situated at an altitude of 3200 m above sea level on a plateau beneath mountain peaks. From here we will start our Mount Aragats hiking tour to the Southern peak, 3887.8 meters.

Hiking period for Aragats is very short – from July to September (sometimes even mid October), so if you plan to take part in Mount Aragats hiking tour, make sure to do that at the right season.

In the evening we will return to Yerevan.
