Achqasar, Mountain summit in Shirak Province, Armenia
Mount Achkasar rises to 3,197 meters above sea level, marking the highest point of the Javakheti range within the Lesser Caucasus Mountains.
The geological formation of Mount Achkasar dates to the Quaternary period, characterized by volcanic activity that shaped the mountain into a lava cone.
Mount Achkasar stands as a central feature of Lake Arpi National Park, drawing visitors from surrounding regions for outdoor exploration and nature photography.
Hikers can access the mountain from Paghaghbyur village, following a challenging 21-kilometer trail that leads through alpine meadows to the summit.
