Kaputan (Gogi Lake)

Kaputan, also known as Gogi Lake, is the largest glacial-origin lake in Armenia's Zangezur mountains. It sits in the summit zone of Syunik region at about 3,202 m.

The lake formed from glacial action and covers 10 hectares. It runs 500 m long and 200 m wide, reaching 22 m at its deepest point, with a catchment of just 2 km² and a volume near 1.5 million cubic meters.

The water is fresh, cold, and strikingly blue. It feeds the Qajaran river, which starts here. The surrounding area is protected as the Kaputan (Gogi) Lake natural monument.

Kaputan Lake lies in Syunik region, about 8.5 km southwest of the town of Kajaran, roughly 179 km southeast of Yerevan (straight-line).
