Hell's Canyon (or in Armenian, Dyoghki Dzor) is located near the village of Tigranashen. It is one of the most beautiful canyons in Armenia, worth visiting to witness the astonishing tall red cliffs and enjoy the impressive views of these places. Nearby is Mount Tezhkar, with a height of 1735 meters, offering a wonderful panoramic view of the Ararat Valley, the lakes of the village of Armash, Mount Ararat, and the Urc mountains. From the summit of Mount Tezhkar, you can see three countries bordering Armenia: Azerbaijan, Iran, and Turkey.
