Itinerary
Join us on a breathtaking adventure to reach the summit of Mount Aragats southern peak, the tallest mountain in Armenia. Our first stop is at 3200m, the stunning Lake Kari, which means “Stone Lake.” Here we’ll explore the remarkable geological story of Aragats, shaped by an ancient eruption, forming a 400m deep crater and giving birth to its four distinctive peaks. Finally, we’ll reach the very top at 3888 meters, feeling triumphant and enjoying the stunning all-around views. Marvel at the breathtaking views that show the beauty of Ararat Valley, the power of Mount Ararat, and the splendid Aragats and Araler Mountains. After a day full of nature’s beauty and historical wonders it’s time to go back to Yerevan full of emotions and memories! Yes, we did it!
After a little rest we’ll continue our journey to Amberd Fortress, an ancient 7th-century castle majestically situated at 2300 meters, offering a glimpse into Armenia’s captivating history.

About Yerevan
Yerevan is Armenia's pink-stoned capital, a city of wide squares, café terraces and museums, with Mount Ararat standing on its southern skyline.
The city grew around Erebuni, a fortress founded in 782 BC, though most of today's centre was built in the Soviet era from the soft pink and orange tuff that earned Yerevan its nickname, the Pink City. Republic Square is the hub, framed by government buildings and museums. The Cascade, a giant stairway of terraces and sculpture, climbs a hillside, and the Matenadaran holds a famous collection of medieval manuscripts.
Top-ranked sights in Yerevan: Republic Square, Tsaghkadzor Ropeway, Matenadaran (Mesrop Mashtots Institute of Ancient Manuscripts).
