ARMENIAN-RUSSIAN EXPEDITION STARTS CLIMBING ARAGATS
YEREVAN, June 13. /ARKA/. Participants of Armenian-Russian scientific
and tourist expedition "Towards single CIS youth tourist space"
started climbing the four-peak Mount Aragats at 9:00 in the morning,
after a day spent at 3,200 meters for acclimatization, Novosti-Armenia
reported.
The expeditionists plan to climb the southern (3,879 meters) and the
western (4,080 meters) peaks.
The day before they had a pre-trek acclimatization walk on Mount Urts
(3,485 meters), the group instructor Edgar Navasardyan said.
According to the head of sports tourism chair of the Russian academy
of tourism Yevgeniy Baranov, Aragats is promising in terms of tourism
development.
The mount is quite easy for climbing and is not for alpinists: it is
rather a beautiful place for amateur hikers, Baranov said.
The second scientific and tourism expedition "Towards single CIS youth
tourist space" is organized by the Russian International Academy for
Tourism and its branch, Armenian Institute of Tourism.
The participants will have fascinating tours with climbing, rock
climbing, hiking and bicycle races.
The expedition is supported by the South Caucasus Railway, Bank
VTB (Armenia), the Republican Party of Armenia, the National
Assembly and the Russian Embassy to Armenia. -0- - See more at:
