Aragats is the highest mountain in Armenia, but this is not about the Southern summit 😋
Southern is the smallest one, still it doesn't make it a simple one, not worth climbing. So climb it! You will see wonderful views...

Aragats mountain Northern peak ( Արագած հյուսիսային գագաթ) with the height of 4090 m is the highest point of Armenia.
Aragats has 4 peaks, the most famous are South peak and North peak.
The southern peak is famous for ...
Note: This track has been prepared connecting different tracks. I have done all the bits but never together. There can be some innacuracies in the connections.
Sequence - Kari, North, East, West, South, Kari.
Trakking somehow stopped at South peak, so the time should be +1.5h and the distance about +4km. The track was as good as it can be, no wrong turns.

We hiked to the northern summit. It’s a full-day hike starting from Parz Lake (3200m), and you can feel the altitude right away, with possible signs of altitude sickness. The views are beautiful, and the ascent is steep....
So we took 4x4 to the valley down to the west and started to hike to Kaqavasar. We did not take the same hike back, instead we took the path to the old military ruins.
Back to lake Kari I forgot to stop the recording.
W...
Quite frankly, my first advice is: don't do this if it's not july-september. We attempted to climb the North Peak halfway June, after the Hike Armenia office in Yerevan told us there was just a 2-3 cm snow left. This was...

To be honest, I’m not sure why I uploaded this route—it barely qualifies as a "trail." But if you're hiking Aragats’ Eastern Peak and too lazy to descend the same way to join the Gegharot trail, an...
The route starts off fairly mild but has a lot of surprises in store! The south peak is definitely ok for most hikers.
Going down the opposite side of south side to attempt the western peak was a real challenge. It’s v...
Loop trail from Khotavet passing through Mount Aragats South peak. And getting close to 3 other peaks. I did a mistake and didn't wear proper shoes. So couldn't climb very steep hills.
I'll try again with more experienc...
The trail from campsite to the saddle point of South-West summits was wrong (very rocky). But we came down the right trail, so it's recorded. Everything elese was fine.
𝐌𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭 𝐀𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐬 is the highest peak in Armenia, standing at 4,090 meters. It is an extinct volcano with a crater and has four peaks, with the Northern Peak being the highest. The mountain is a popular destinati...
Ascent to Mount Aragats / Southern Summit (3887 m)
Mount Aragats has four summits, and The Southern Summit is the last highest summit after the Northern Summit (4090 m).
Level of difficulty- Moderate
Parking at Lake Kari. Head for the ridge leading to the Southern summit. The ridge is rather easy and offers a beautiful view of the crater. Certainly more interesting than the "classic" trail up the SW side. From the to...
1) Reaching the lake by car (sturdy 4 WD only)
2) Camping at the pristine lake (if you come from Canada...swimming is possible: water is clean and cold)
3) Hike: Aragats North Pick in 5-6 hours (one way).
a) from the ...
Comenzamos la jornada a las 04,30 desde nuestro alojamiento en Ereván (capital de Armenia) y tardamos 1,40 h. en llegar al lago Kari en coche.
Comenzamos a andar desde el lago, que esta a 3.200 m. de altitud, a pocos ...
