There are 2 sides to climb one you can with a car and you can eat Armenian Khash at the top. The other side from the village leads to waterfalls small and big, hard to get there but it's worth it.
A unique place in an hour and a half drive from the center of Yerevan. I recommend definitely climbing at least the southern peak (southern peak). The start of the route can only be reached by car. The trail originates from Kari Lake, to the right of Alagyaz Cafe. In the near future I will try to put a trail on Yandex. Cards. At the top (and this is the highest point in Armenia) there will be a stunning view of the volcano's mouth and, if you are lucky with the weather, Mount Ararat. No special climbing skills or equipment are required. The average time on the route is 2.5 hours in one direction. At the end of the journey, cosmic landscapes, ringing silence, excerpts from Vysotsky and a slight feeling of euphoria! Believe me, it's worth it!
We were driving in November, got into a snow jam, couldn't get there, but the views are great, I'll definitely come back and go to the top at another time of the year (in summer)
A good route to the southern peak from Lake Kari. Without much difficulty. You just need to find a track on the Internet, since the trail is not always clearly visible
To see the crater of the volcano being covered with clouds, to look at the grandeur of the mountain ranges - the most vivid emotions!
The ascent is smooth, it's not difficult for experienced people, but there may be problems with the pressure drop, do not rush down to Yerevan right away, it's better to hang out somewhere higher in the mountains.
Very beautiful views and the road. On the way back, BE SURE to stop by the fortress.
Hash, to be honest, was not impressed - maybe in the company and with vodka he would have gone with a bang.

It's a very cool place. I especially liked the place where the car was rolling uphill. An abnormal place. I went there for him. I am very surprised
Excellent Hash in off-season and excellent dogwood. And there is no way to describe the terrain

An excellent four-thousandth person, no skills are required, anyone who can overcome 15,000 steps in a day can cope. You get to the lake by car on an asphalt road. Then there will be a path, you will not get confused. This is a sooooo accessible route and very beautiful scenery. In Russia, and even for free, there is no such thing :) In Armenia, the locals don't even know that they have a beautiful Aragats!
One of the most beautiful places in Armenia. In mid-November, you can still get here by car. Then, until spring (until May) everything will be covered with snow. Ararat is visible from the mountain itself.
We really like Armenia with its mountain peaks, monasteries and hospitable people. The Aragats mountain is very beautiful. The guide Nikolai told and showed everything very interestingly
