Getting There
-
Car
If you're driving from the center of Gegharkunik, head southeast on the main road (M1). Continue for approximately 15 kilometers until you see signs for the village of Gavar. Turn left onto the road towards Gavar. After reaching Gavar, continue on the road towards the village of Tchambarak. As you approach Tchambarak, look for signs directing you towards Mount Armaghan. The mountain will be clearly visible as you drive closer, and you may need to park at designated areas near the base. Remember that some areas may require a small parking fee, so keep some local currency handy.
-
Public Transportation
To reach Mount Armaghan using public transportation, start by taking a marshrutka (minibus) from the main bus station in Gegharkunik to Gavar. Marshrutkas typically leave frequently, and the fare is quite affordable (around 300-500 AMD). Once in Gavar, you will need to transfer to another marshrutka heading towards Tchambarak. Confirm with the driver that they will stop near Mount Armaghan, as not all routes may go directly there. After arriving at Tchambarak, you may need to walk a short distance (approximately 2-3 kilometers) to reach the base of Mount Armaghan. Plan for some extra travel time, as marshrutkas may wait until full before departing.
-
Taxi
If you prefer a more direct route or are traveling in a group, you can hire a taxi from Gegharkunik to Mount Armaghan. This option is more expensive, typically costing between 5,000 to 10,000 AMD depending on your negotiation skills and the exact drop-off point. Make sure to agree on the price before starting your journey. The taxi will take you directly to the base of the mountain, allowing convenient access to the hiking trails.
