Overview
Although Ararat is not located on the territory of Armenia, it is still the main symbol of the identity of Armenians and Armenia and it would be very appropriate to begin your ascent to Ararat from Yerevan. In good weather, the majestic mountain is visible from almost any point in Armenia and from each point completely differently. Together with the experienced instructors of our company, realize your dream of conquering Ararat or, more precisely, conquering it. Usually, we plan all group climbing dates in August, since this is the most favorable time for such a serious trip.
