Explore the stunning landscapes of Mount Aragats on a full-day tour. Visit Sagmosavank Monastery, the Armenian Alphabet Monument, Lake Kari, and the Amberd Fortress.
Begin your journey with a scenic drive to Sagmosavank Monastery, perched atop a sheer cliff. Marvel at breathtaking views over the Kasagh Gorge and immerse yourself in Armenia’s spiritual and natural beauty.
Continue to the Armenian Alphabet Monument, where 39 giant stone letters stand proudly against the backdrop of Mount Aragats. Snap photos and learn about the history of the Armenian script.
Next, climb toward the highlands to reach Lake Kari, located at an altitude of around 3,200 meters. Formed by melting snow, the lake is known for its crystal-clear waters and stunning alpine views.
Just above the lake, explore the abandoned astrophysics station, once used by Soviet scientists for space observation. Its dramatic, desolate architecture creates a powerful atmosphere and makes for unique photography.
Your final stop is the legendary Amberd Fortress, dramatically located at 2,300 meters above sea level. Explore its ancient stone walls, towers, and the nearby 11th-century Vahramashen Church while learning about its strategic importance in medieval Armenia.
