Itinerary description
Yeranos mountain also famous as ''red mountain'' is located in Ararat provine and has 1824 m height.
Before hiking the mountain and chosing the right track you should know this:
---There are TWO ROUTES of this range, both of them starts from Garni village, but the end parts are different, this one ends in Dvin village and is moderate, the other goes to Azat reservoir but the route is very wild, it's full of steep parts and as to me is not suitable for hiking. So if you plan to see Azat reservoir too, it's better to go there by vehicle, not by mountains (btw very close to Yerevan - 20 km)
Anyway I have the other track too, you can message me and I'll send it if you want.
***WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW FOR THIS ROUTE ? ***
---The hardest part of the route is the first 5 kms, as you gain a lot of hight that part.
--- There is a bridge to pass the river during the first km, but you should pass through the private property, so we usually inform them that we go to Yeranos and they open the gates. This route is really beautiful, you can see Garni temple from the hight and have stunning view of Ararat mount.
--- First part of the route is a tiny line and sometimes it's not visible, so GPS file is essential.
--- The most part you go by vehicle traces.
--- It's very hot, so don't forget to take min 2 litres of water with you.
--- Don't hike there in hot season (summer, september, october), because it's really unbearable hot.
---Best season for Yeranos range is April, May and November.
--- The pictures below are made at the end of May.
--- The length of the route is 19 km.
