waterfall Gegharot

Waterfall Gegharot sits on the Gegharot tributary of the Kasagh river, on the slope of Mount Aragats at roughly 3000 meters elevation. Water falls from about 17 meters, running cold even in summer and freezing over in winter.

It was added to Armenia's state list of natural monuments by a government decision dated August 14, 2008. Locals and researchers often note how closely it resembles the Trchkan waterfall, another cascade in the country.

The site lies about 11-12 km northwest of the village of Aragat, in Aragatsotn region.

The waterfall is in Aragatsotn region, roughly 11-12 km northwest of the village of Aragat, on the slope of Mount Aragats. It sits about 44 km northwest of Yerevan in a straight line.

The water runs cold through summer but freezes solid in winter, so the fall itself is only active outside the cold months.
