Beschrijving
Kari Lake is a high-altitude cold lake nestled at 3200 m on the slopes of Mt. Aragats. The landscape is dramatic and open, with rocky ground, sparse alpine vegetation, and patches of snow even in summer. This harsh but beautiful environment is home to specialized mountain birds. In summer, you can spot species like Steenheggenmus, Alpenheggenmus, Strandleeuwerik, and Rode Rotslijster. Lammergier and Raaf sometimes soar overhead. The peacefulness, stunning views, and the chance to see hardy, high-mountain species in their natural habitat make this a rewarding site for birders.

Toegang
Kari Lake is located on the southern slope of Mt. Aragats, about 60 km northwest of Yerevan. You can drive up from the town of Byurakan via a paved but steep and winding road. There is parking available right at the lake. Press P on the map for directions. Public transport does not reach the site, so a private car or taxi is necessary. The area is best explored on foot. Short walks around the lake or hikes up the surrounding slopes offer great birding opportunities. Allow 2–5 hours for a visit, more if you plan to hike higher up the mountain.
