Coming to Armenia without visiting the Geghama Mountains is a big mistake. And being in the Geghama Mountains and not ascenting Mount Azhdahak is the biggest mistake. This mountain with a mythical name has attracted many with its colors and dragon-like appearance, and the crater lake at the top encourages swimming at this mountain height, which is of course not easy given the cold. Azhdahak is located on the border of Kotayk and Gegharkunik regions, the highest peak of the Geghama Mountains - 3597 meters.
