It starts at Mount Ishkhanats in the Miapor Mountains and extends in a south-westerly direction to Mount Makaghakar, at which point it changes direction and moves westward, reaching the confluence of the Getik and Aghnovat rivers. The northwestern and southwestern slopes of the mountains are forested.
