One-day hike to the Lakes of Aragats

Mount Aragats is the highest point of Armenia which has four peaks. Over the years, many mountaineers reached the peaks from Lake Kari and had no idea about other lakes of Aragats. The highest peak of Mount Aragats is the Northern summit – 4090 m. From the Lakes Rapi, Mtnalich, and Astghkan, mountaineers have the opportunity to enjoy the view of the Northern wall that is magnetic whether it’s covered with snow or not.

In the morning, we will move from Yerevan to the village of Geghadzor in Aragatsotn province on off-road cars. We will continue our way on off-road cars from the village of Geghadzor to Lake Rapi at an altitude of 3000 m. From there opens a view of the Northern wall of Mount Aragats.

After that, we will start our hike to Lake Mtnalich at an altitude of 3500 m. The lake is situated under the highest summit of Armenia.

Then we will walk to lake Astghkan at an altitude of 3116 m and enjoy the Northern wall from the other side. We will finish the hike near lake Rapi and go down to the village of Geghadzor on off-road cars.
