Description
Azhdahak is one of those places in Armenia where the true freedom of the mountains can still be felt. There are almost no settlements or tourist infrastructure around — only the vast landscapes of the Geghama Mountains, volcanic peaks, high-altitude lakes and herds grazing on mountain pastures during the summer months.
The tour includes an ascent of Mount Azhdahak, the highest peak of the Geghama Mountains at 3,597 meters. A small crater lake lies at the summit of this extinct volcano, and on a clear day there are impressive views of Mount Ararat, Mount Aragats, Lake Sevan and the surrounding peaks of the Geghama Range.
Azhdahak is also fascinating for its ancient history. Along the route, it is possible to see ancient petroglyphs left by people who lived in these mountains thousands of years ago. The combination of wild nature, volcanic landscapes and traces of ancient history makes this one of Armenia’s most unusual hiking experiences.
The ascent is completed in one day and is suitable for travelers in good physical condition. The best hiking season is from June to September, when the mountain roads and trails are generally accessible.
