From Igdir a track makes its way to the small Ararat village of Basköy (2,100m/6,892ft) at the mouth of the Ahira valley, a gorge-like defile full of volcanic lava slag. The entrance to the valley is pitted with caves, once the abode of Christian hermits. Five crosses are carved in the rock below the caves.
