Pahakasar, Mountain summit in Vayots Dzor, Armenia
Pahakasar is a mountain summit in the Teqsar range located at approximately 2000 meters elevation in southern Armenia. The peak rises above the surrounding terrain with wide views across neighboring peaks and the highland landscape.
The mountain forms part of the southern extension of the Vardenis range, a geological formation shaped over millions of years. This ridge system has influenced how people have settled and moved through the Armenian highlands across time.
The mountain region near Herher village shows how locals live in connection with the surrounding land, maintaining pastoral and agricultural practices that have shaped daily life for generations.
Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit starting from Herher village, with the best climbing season spanning June through September. Prepare properly for mountain conditions and allow time for the weather to change at higher elevations.
The diverse rock formations at this peak represent the geological character of the Armenian highlands, revealing the layers and structures visible in the exposed stone. Most hikers focus on the views and overlook the rock story written into the mountainside.
