Itinerary description
Tezh mountain ( Թեժ լեռ ) is the highest peak (3101 m ) of Pambak range in Lori province.
Pambak range is considered the longest mountain range in Armenia.
The word ''Tezh'' translated from Armenian as "Hot", so be prepared to get damn burned if you don't have any sunscreen with you :)
------ WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THIS TRAIL ? ------
-----Theree are 3 famous ways to climb Tezh mountain:
1. From Meghradzor
2. From Lermontovo
3. From Margahovit
We climbed it from 3 ways and as to me the route from Meghradzor is really the best one, because:
*** Meghradzor village is much closer to Yerevan than the other villages,
*** The route is really beautiful and suitible for comfortable hiking
*** This is the easiest and the shortest way to climb Tezh mountain
The route to Lermontovo то is long and quite ''wild'' with spiky bushes and depending on season it could be a lot of river ''passes'' , and the part of the route closed to the summit is quite steep.
The route to Margahovit is more suitible than the one to Lermontovo, but it's very long.
----- If you are shot of time, it's better to climb from Meghradzor and return there again.
----- First part of Meghradzor and Margahovit villages you'll probably meet shepherd dogs, so it's necessary to be careful with them, as they approach, bark and can attack ,/as in every corner in Armenia :( /
If you meet them I'll advice to leave their territory quickly, don't show them your back and never run.
-----SEASON for Tezh mount is from the end of June till the end of September. The best season is July, first part of August (June is still snowy, from the half of August it's getting dried).
