The huge planar tree of S'khtorashen, above Karmir Shuka is also known as Sose's Tree (Soseyi Tsar) and has another name as well. This is not a destination all by itself, but it is such a wonderful picnic spot, and an amazing tree that any trip to Amaras or G'tichavank should be arranged to stop by this tree.

To find the tree, head to Karmir Shuka village and look for the blue and yellow footprint signs of the Janapar Trail. Follow them up the dirt road a few hundred meters up the hill to the tree.
