What To Expect
Azhdaq means incredibly beautiful views, remoteness from civilization and often the complete absence of other people around. We will climb almost 3,000 meters on a Loaf and walk another 500 meters. You will swim in the crater lake, see the red volcanic slopes, and in good weather, Lake Sevan, Ararat, and the entire Geghama range.
