Kharazet el Shaq

 


One of the most beautiful sights in the high mountains, Kharazet el Shaq consist of a series of overflowing granite water pools at the top of a very steep and long gully, with one of the pools big enough for a dip. There is always water in the main pool, and after rains other pools and water falls form below.
