We are heading to the high-altitude southern part of the Aragats massif to discover the ancient site of Tirinkatar (Karmir Sar) at 2,850 meters. The plateau hosts 12 mysterious vishapakars — dragon stones — featuring ancient carvings of snakes and fish, once used in water and fertility rituals. The hike starts and finishes near Amberd Fortress; you can visit the fortress at the end of the trek if you wish. Route stats: 22 km length, 1,000 m elevation gain/loss. What to bring: — Suitable hiking clothes and boots (preferably non-fabric) — Sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat — A second pair of shoes (to leave in the car) — Food and water for one day (reusable containers preferred) How to register: 1. Call 094 274 654. 2. First-time participants must complete the agreement: https://forms.gle/QCFzSNBDv5FJqmrC6 3.
