Aragats, 2100 m. above sea level. The history of Amberd goes back to the 7th century when the Armenian noble family of Kamsarakans began to build the fortress as their summer residence. In the 10th century the Kamsarakans had to pass on this strategic point to another Armenian noble family, the Pahlavuni family. In the 11th century\u00a0 the Armenian commander Vagram Pahlavuni ordered to fortify the complex of Amberd and build a church there, which was later named after him \u2013 Vagramashen.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11338\" style=\"width: 970px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/0-1.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11338\" class=\"wp-image-11338 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/0-1.jpg?resize=960%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"climbing Aragats and Azhdahak mountains\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/0-1.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/0-1.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/0-1.jpg?resize=705%2C470&amp;ssl=1 705w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/0-1.jpg?resize=450%2C300&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11338\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Volcano Aragats<\/p><\/div>\n<p>After exploring the complex, we will continue our way to the lake Kari.
