Miapor, Mountain summit in Tavush Province, Armenia
Miapor is a mountain summit in the Lesser Caucasus that reaches approximately 3000 meters in elevation and stands at the border between two provinces. Its slopes show layers of alpine vegetation and sharp ridges that define the local landscape.
The mountain takes its name from ancient Armenian words related to water channels and drainage systems that shaped the region's valleys. This naming reflects how local communities have long understood and described the geology of this area.
The Miapor mountain serves as a natural boundary between Gegharkunik and Tavush provinces, with local communities maintaining traditional agricultural practices on its lower slopes.
The best time for hiking runs from late spring through early autumn when conditions are most favorable. Visitors should bring plenty of water and warm layers since weather can change quickly at higher elevations.
Three major rivers originate from different sides of the mountain, each flowing into distinct watershed systems. These waterways have shaped the ecology and water supply patterns across the surrounding valleys for generations.
