WHY GO THEIR

Ararat (in Turkish - Ağrı Dağı) is a volcanic massif located on the right bank of the Araks River, 16 kilometers from the border with Iran and 32 kilometers from the border with Armenia. Being a separate mountain, Ararat is a sacred symbol for all surrounding peoples. Especially for Armenian. The view from most of Armenia of this fabulous peak awakens, if not religious, then close to these feelings. It is no coincidence that Ararat is considered a biblical peak, even if scientists find no reason for this. Noah was there! Noah's Ark is an absolute reality, even if it did not exist. Just like the grapes that grow on the top of Ararat. Climbing to the top is not technically difficult and is physically accessible to any healthy person. However, there are plenty of organizational problems on the way; it’s better not to touch them and entrust everything to our company, which has already organized the ascent to this sacred peak for a good hundred climbers.
