Kasagh River, Aragatsotn, Armenia
5.0 (10 reviews) Spent 1-2 hours Ranking #3 in Artashavan Bodies of Water • Canyons • Geologic Formations
Along the river you will find ancient bridges and monasteries, prehistoric cave paintings, ruins of castles. Wonderful!
Kasagh River is quite beautiful. I've visited the river from Hovhannavank to Ashtarak to Oshakan to Aghtamir and further north and further south. At some points the river runs through a deep, lush gorge. In Ashtarak and Oshakan, there are ancient bridges crossing the river. Near Hamamlu there are prehistoric cave paintings in the gorge. Hovhannavank and Saghmosavank monasteries teeter over the edge of the gorge. In Aghtamir you'll find ruins of an ancient castle overlooking the river. There is so much to see along the Kasagh River. You could spend a day or two driving north and south and seeing all the nature and history. A beautiful part of Armenia for sure.

Great walks!
Today, a taxi dropped us off at a plateau near the river Kasagh. We hiked through the valley. It wasn'tan easy track but it was magnificent. As it gets really hot here, bring plenty of drinking water and a hat. And don't forget your hiking boots...

A great Gorge
The Kasagh river passes through a fairly narrow Gorge that creates a very picturesque scenery. The fact that is littered by old monasteries and charming villages adds to the overall attraction
