Ararat & Aragats Photo Tour

1
day
from 60 $

Description

Mount Ararat and Mount Aragats are two completely different mountains and two of the great mountain symbols of Armenia. In a single day, we will try to see and photograph both — majestic Mount Ararat rising above the Ararat Valley and four-peaked Mount Aragats, the highest mountain in modern-day Armenia.

Early in the morning, we travel to Saghmosavank Monastery, dramatically situated above the deep Kasagh Gorge and offering beautiful views towards Mount Ararat in clear weather. From there, we continue up the slopes of Mount Aragats to the medieval Amberd Fortress, looking for interesting compositions of the fortress, surrounding mountains and distant Ararat.

The journey then continues around Mount Aragats, photographing its four peaks and the constantly changing mountain landscapes along the route.

The exact itinerary may vary depending on the season, weather and mountain visibility. In winter, when the road to Amberd is closed, alternative accessible photography locations will be selected.

The idea of this photo tour is to search for good light and capture two completely different faces of mountainous Armenia in a single day — Ararat and Aragats.
