Mount Apakekar is located in the Dilijan National Park between the villages of Ovk and Agartsin. With a height of 1651 meters, hiking to its summit is relatively easy and suitable even for novice mountain enthusiasts. The slopes of the mountain are covered with forest, but a convenient trail leads to the top, offering a stunning view of the rocky walls of the Ijevan Mountains and the Agstev River valley.
Next Sunday, we are going to Tavush to see the spring flowers, walk along picturesque trails, climb Mount Apakekar, see the famous Dimats, taste delicious gata, and breathe in the pure mountain air of the Armenian Switzerland!
