At the beginning of the day, we will make a stop at the Yeghegis Gorge, from where we will hike to Hermon Monastery. Then, starting from the village of Hermon, we will ascend Mount Kalasar.<\/p>\n

Located in the Vayots Dzor region, Mount Kalasar rises to an elevation of 2,230 m. At its summit, sections of the ancient Kalasar Fortress walls have been preserved. It is believed that this fortress predates Smbataberd, as evidenced by the absence of mortar in the surviving stonework.<\/p>\n\n

Bezoar goat are frequently seen around the fortress, and with a bit of luck, we may be fortunate enough to spot some during our hike.<\/div>\n
