Armenia – land of mountains
Armenia is the land of rocks and mountains, thus there are no restrictions for mountain
routs and mountaineering. There is no need to talk about the magnificent view that
opens in front of you when you are on the top of a mountain. Hatis 2528m (8293ft) and
Arai 2577m (8454ft) mountains are the most famous destinations that mountain
climbers usually take. But with proper preparations it is also highly recommended to
climb mount Aragats 4090m (13420ft), which is the highest point in Armenia. Also
Aragats is famous with some restaurants that offer Armenians’ beloved Khash,
traditional Armenian winter soup.
