Aragats is the highest mountain in Armenia, offering adventurous hikers a challenging climb. Start your hike at the mountain lake of Kari (3,200m), ascending to the southern peak at 3,887m. Summitting takes around three hours, with the entire trek lasting approximately eight hours — but the views are well worth it.
