How did hiking life begin?<\/h3>\n

In a conversation with us, Suren said that he started hiking in 2010. \u201cThe first peak I climbed was Mount Bovakar in the Lori region. After that, I joined the hike, organized by YSU Department of Physical Culture teacher Baburyan, and together we reached the northern summit of Aragats. That’s how I stayed in the mountains…\u201d<\/p>\n
