Petroglyphs at Ughtasar, Sisian

Sasson and his Villis (an old military Russian jeep straight from the Karabakh War) picked us up at 09:30 sharp and we headed up the mountain trail towards Ughtasar.

Ughtasar is an ancient site dating back 7000 years with an abundance of petroglyphs engraved on volcanic rock.



The site is 3300 meters above sea level so it was quite chilly, but Sasson was kind enough to lend Rena his jacket.

He was also very knowledgeable about the engravings and we speculated as to their possible meanings.

    Hi,
    can you give me the contacts for the driver?
    How much did it cost for you?
    Thanks.
