Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Гора Ара

May 2018 • Friends

Ара — потухший вулкан в Армении, расположенный в Арагацотнской области, между реками Раздан и Касах. Высота горы над уровнем моря равна 2577 метров.
Склоны горы не особо богаты природой. Лишь северная часть покрыта лесами. Зато в конце лета и в начале осени, когда все вокруг уже выжжено палящим солнцем, там наверху расстилаются бескрайние ковры из цветов.На горе нету родников и ручейков, единственный более-менее нормальный источник воды это снега, которые остаются максимум до конца весны и то только на верху.
По преданию гора названа именем царя Ара Прекрасного (Ара Лер – Лер на армянском значит гора). Во время битвы против ассирийской царицы Семирамиды, Ара расположил свое войско у подножия Аралера, а царица заняла позиции на склонах Атиса. Согласно легенде — Аралер есть тело Ара Прекрасного, погибшего во время битвы. Издалека она действительно похожа на человека, лежащего с руками на груди.Внутрь скалы Аклоракар углубляется пещера, которую называют пустынь девы Варвары. У посетителей дрожь пробегает, когда они представляют, как самоотверженная монахиня ночевала на такой высоте наедине с молниями и ураганами.
