Description

This is a tourist route to Mount Ararat. In the lower part, there are several options for ascend. This particular route is slightly less touristy than other variations but is still considered a normal route to Ararat summit. A permit is required for the climb, which is arranged by local agencies. The climb is not technically demanding, but it is essential to consider the weather and the time of year. The usual ascent on this route with an agency takes three days, allowing time for acclimatization. The starting point is at an altitude of 2,200 meters above sea level, and the summit is reportedly 5,165 meters above sea level.
