Гехмаган · Գեղմաղան

Gekhmagan is a mountain of volcanic origin standing 3,319 meters, part of the northwestern section of the Gegham range in Kotayk region. It's also recorded under several older names — Gegh, Gegha, Gegham, Gyugh, and Ghzl-Ziaret.

The peak sits about 7 km east of the village of Sevaberd. Beyond its elevation and volcanic origin, little else is documented about it.

Gekhmagan is in Kotayk region, roughly 7 km east of Sevaberd village, and lies about 34 km east-northeast of Yerevan (straight-line).

At 3,319 meters, snow cover typically persists well into the warmer months, so summer offers the most reliable window for reaching the summit.
