Mt aragats

This hike starts  from the altitude of 3,250m above sea level. The starting point is by the Kari Lake.  Aragats used to be one of the largest volcanoes in the world which now has four peaks and an immense crater.  While the North Summit of Aragats is the tallest mountain top in the Republic of Armenia, the South Summit is everyone's favorite. 

The best time to hike is around May. The weather should be warm, but still covered with snow. 

There is a hotel-restaurant  near Kari Lake which is famous for serving khash–one of the tastiest dishes in Armenian cuisine.
