The \u201cMaymekhs\u201d of Armenia<\/span><\/h3>\n

There used to be four mountains called Maymekh in Armenia, the highest of which is located near Vanadzor. This peak is part of the Pambak Mountain Range, has an altitude of 3,081 m and is now known as Mount Dzithanits. The so-called Woodless Maymekh (2,534 m) is located to the northwest of Mount Dzithanits. The terms \u201cMets\u201d and \u201cPokr\u201d Maymekh used to refer to two peaks in the far northwest of the Areguni Range. The \u201cPokr Maymekh\u201d is now referred to as Mount Yeghjervasar (2,559 m), while the Mets Maymekh is still referred to as such, in addition to being known as \u201cDilijan Maymekh\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n
