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.
