Ardahan Province, Province in northeastern Turkey.
This region encompasses 5,576 square kilometers of mountainous terrain and plateaus, bordered by Georgia and the provinces of Artvin and Erzurum.
The territory changed control between Armenian, Georgian, Ottoman, and Russian powers until 1921, when Turkey reclaimed it through the Treaty of Kars.
The province maintains agricultural traditions with shepherds leading their flocks through mountain pastures during summer months across six distinct districts.
Ardahan province operates under area code 478, with postal codes ranging from 75000 to 75999, and contains the districts of Ardahan, Çıldır, Damal, Göle, Hanak, and Posof.
Lake Çıldır in Ardahan province freezes completely during winter, creating a natural ice surface where local fishermen cut holes to catch fish.
