Getting there

Car

If you're traveling by car, start your journey from the city of Goris in Syunik. Head south on the M2 highway toward Kapan. After approximately 27 km, take the exit toward Ughtasar. Follow the signs to Ughtasar Lake. The last stretch to the lake requires driving on a gravel road, which can be rough, so a 4x4 vehicle is recommended. The GPS coordinates for Ughtasar Lake are 39.685420, 46.052497. Ensure you have a physical map or GPS device as mobile signals can be weak in remote areas.

Public Transportation

To reach Ughtasar Lake by public transportation, you can take a marshrutka (minibus) from Goris to Kapan. The marshrutkas leave frequently throughout the day from the Goris bus station. Once you arrive in Kapan, you will need to hire a taxi or find a local guide to take you the rest of the way to Ughtasar Lake. Make sure to negotiate the taxi fare beforehand; it typically costs around 3,000-5,000 AMD depending on your negotiation skills. The taxi ride from Kapan to Ughtasar can take about an hour.

Hiking

For the adventurous travelers, you can hike to Ughtasar Lake. From Goris, take a taxi to the nearest trailhead, which is approximately 15 km from the lake. The hike itself is about 5-7 km. Ensure you have appropriate hiking gear, and consider hiring a local guide for safety and navigation. The area is remote, and it’s easy to get lost. Always inform someone about your plans before heading out.
