Aside from the natural beauty of the mountaintop valley, the views and the small lake, there is an abundance of ancient petroglyphs aged between 4 to 7 thousand years old. Unfortunately, this is one of the most difficult places to reach, with a solid 4x4 needed and with no real roads leading up to it, compounded by a short visiting season. I strongly recommend a guide from the village or Sisian. There are professional guides, but if you ask around, you will be able to hire someone to take you for a very reasonable price. Trips should only be made from mid-July to late September, since the mountain is snow covered most of the rest of the year.
Rock carvings are a unique source for the study of ancient culture.
Unfortunately, very little has been preserved from the rich material collected by him. A. P. Deniyokhin also has taken part in the discovery ot rock-carvings in Armenia. Groups of rock -carvings have also been found in Western Armenia. In 1966 we discovered exceptionally rich centres of rock-carvings in historical Syunik. The collection of these rock-carvings arouses high interest in various specialists and especially in archaeologists.
