Mantashaberd

Translated

We are heading to Tavush to Mantashaberd to discover the charm of this medieval fortress. Mantashaberd, also known as Ashot Erkat's (Ashot the Iron) Fortress, was built in the 10th century during the Bagratuni dynasty. It is surrounded by high, steep cliffs, making it impregnable. The final section of the road leading to the fortress has a steep incline with a slippery part; we will overcome it using ropes to reach the fortress safely. This route is ideal for those who love to combine natural beauty, historical heritage, and small adventures. Relative elevation: 600 m Route length: 12 km Difficulty: Medium Club equipment (hiking poles and gaiters) will be provided to participants if booked in advance. Participants must bring: comfortable hiking shoes, a personal first aid kit, a change of clothes, sunglasses, warm clothes, a backpack, food, water, a raincoat, and a flashlight. The participation fee includes the services of experienced guides and high-quality transport. Payment can only be made by transfer (Sargis Matevosyan, 095727447 Ineco or ID bank 4318280100055299). If cancelled starting from Friday, the amount is non-refundable. By participating in 5 hikes, you get 1 hike for free.
