What is this place
Lusashogh is a small mountain village in the east of Ararat Province; its name means 'radiant, shining with light'.
'Lusashogh' — 'shedding light': a lovely name for a village at around two thousand metres. Here, high in the mountains, the summer is short and the air is clear.
Here rise the mountains of eastern Ararat; people live by livestock, pastures and haymaking, and the air is drier and cooler than on the plain below.
Lusashogh is a mountain village of Ararat.
