Aragac South Peak (3879 m)

There are no marked trail to the peak. Therefore I seek for a guide. And I was very lucky. Instead of one I found two:). Mher and Arsak. Both are excellent companions and both professionally knows the area. I can recommend to everyone. They spent in the Armenian mountains many years. So, even though the hike was not difficult, I was very happy having a guides. Started from meteorological station, which  located near the lake Kari (Kari stands for Stone). Station staff offered coffee, so the morning started very well. Country is famous for hospitality!

We hike up to the southern peak via ridge located in the East from lake. On the top it become a bit cloudy, however from time to time it was possible to observe whole crater. After small break we descended down via northern ridge toward the West Summit.. From Kari lake to the peak it was about 5 km horizontal and about 700 vertical meters. We continue to the West Summit.
