Tuesday 26th June. 

The final summit of Armenia and surreal descent to Meghri. 

We left our campsite and set off early to climb the final summit at 2300m. The climb went very well and we arrived sooner than expected. Then it was time to enjoy the surreal mountain view towards Iran before starting the 30km descent to the border. The mountains on the Iranian side are very different compared to the other mountains in Armenia. On the Iranian side they are very dry and barren. The view is spectacular. On the descent a family invited us for a cup of coffee. As we descended lower it became very hot making the last few kilometres difficult as our bodies tried to adapt to the heat. 
We are now staying in a bed and breakfast in Meghri. We will rest here for two days before crossing the border to Iran on Friday. After 8 challenging days in Armenia we need that.
