The Hell's Gorge, otherwise called Dzhokhadzor or Aratso Gorge, is situated in the south-eastern part of Ararat province near the border with Nakhchivan. The mountainous river Aratso, with its estuary in Gndasar slopes, flows through the gorge. Running through the south-eastern part of the Urts mountain range, it flows into the river Aras. The first section of Hell Gorge, not too far from Yerevan, is well known among rock-climbers. The overall length of the gorge is 8 km, with some 100-400 m depth and 1,5-80 m length.
