Nestled at 3,200 meters above sea level, Kari Lake is a breathtaking alpine lake on the way to Mount Aragats' southern peak.

As you approach the lake, the air becomes crisp, and the vast, tranquil waters appear, mirroring the sky. Kari Lake is a favorite starting point for hikers ascending Aragats, providing a peaceful rest spot before the challenging climb.Around the lake, you'll find a small meteorological station and occasional grazing sheep, adding to its charm.
