Baghatssar

Baghatssar marks the highest point of the Meghri mountain range, standing at 3,249 meters in the central Syunik region. It sits roughly 5 km northwest of Shishkert village and about 22 km north of Meghri town.

The peak is built from lower Paleozoic metamorphic shale, and its slopes pitch steeply, covered in alpine vegetation over a mountain-meadow landscape. The ridge runs northwest to southeast for 4-5 km.

To the west it joins the Gelejik peak, and to the south the Zikhnovar peak; together the three form the watershed dividing the Voghji and Meghri river basins.

Baghatssar lies in Syunik region, about 22 km north of Meghri town and 5 km northwest of Shishkert village. From Yerevan, it sits roughly 195 km southeast (straight-line).
