Itinerary description

Mount Karktasar is nearly 800 m from Mount Putakar, with maps showing an altitude of 2,740 m. Consequently, Mount Putakar is widely considered to be the highest summit of the Areguni Mountains. However, according to our own measurements, Mount Karktasar is about eight meters higher than Mount Putakar. We measured the altitude with several GPS devices, in the same climate and at intervals of 30 minutes. Given that consistently inaccurate readings from a GPS device are very unlikely, we believe it is safe to say that Mount Karktasar is the highest point of the Areguni Mountains.
