Mount Aragats, whose northern peak is our current destination, is located on the border of Shirak and Aragatsotn provinces of the Republic of Armenia. We will ascend to the northern summit of Mount Aragats from the village of Geghadzor in Shirak province. This is considered a non-traditional route, as most locals and tourists climb the northern summit of Aragats near Lake Kari. The route is marked from the crossroads of Gehadzor village so that visitors know the first parking point. You should follow this road to the village Geghadzor and hire a car from there. The GPS track will take you to the foot of Mount Aragats. The route begins at noon, at an altitude of 3000 m above sea level. After adapting to the terrain you can immediately follow the indicated route, as we still have a long way to go. From the start of the route the northern summit of Aragats seems rocky and inaccessible, but we will cross the river on the right side of the mountain and see small snow-covered areas, depending on the month in which we climb. On the slopes of the mountain we can find dense vegetation, alpine flowers in the highlands, and snow in places. There, at 3,650m above sea level there is a small mountain lake. In August and September the snow on the peaks of Mount Aragats completely melts. It has a giant crater 400 m deep, 3 km in diameter and four peaks.
