Azhdahak mountain | Classic route from Nalsar | Armenia

This trail goes from Azhdahak summit to Nalsar campsite by gorge. In this area due to the stone clusters we have 2 choices:

--- 1. To take the right trail and head to Nalsar by gorge (long trail)
--- 2. Take the right direction and head to campsite by short trail

In my trail section you can find the other trail too.




~~~WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE GEGHAM MOUNTAINS IN TOTAL~~~

--- In the territory of the whole Geghama range ( Գեղամա լեռներ )there are a lot of tents of Yezidis (national minority in Armenia), which are shepherds' tents. You can contact them, if you need any help.
--- There are huge dogs of shepherds spread in this area (Alabay, Armenian Gampr or Caucasian shepherd), they can attack even if you are not so close to their territory or near tents. Usually they bark but don't bite, but you should be aware, pass that part quickly and have some food to throw them in case if they come very close to you (it can be also a slice of bread)
--- The weather in the Gegham mountains is awfully unsustainable, it can be sunny, rainy and stormy simultaneously during 2 hours so be ready for the weather changes and don't trust so much weather forecasts in this area.
--- The perfect season for the Geghama range is from early June till the beginning of August, the best season is July (June is still snowy, the vegetation gets dried in August).
--- There is not any mobile service that works in the Gegham mountains, they work only when you are close to its villages, also you can have service in the locations below :
-- Close to Lake Akna, on the summit of mountain Shushan.
--- On Azhdahak summit
--- Near Nalsar mountain (Not always)
--- Near Vishapalich lake's Dragonstones (Vishapner) (Not always)
