Spring (April to June) is often regarded as the ideal time to visit Kapan due to the pleasant weather that's perfect for exploring the scenic beauty and historical sites. During this period, temperatures are moderate, ranging from 11°C to 24°C, offering a comfortable climate for outdoor activities. Spring in Kapan is also a visually stimulating time as the lush landscapes and mountains bloom with vibrant wildflowers. The celebration of Tsaghkazard (Palm Sunday) and Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day on April 24 can also provide visitors with a unique cultural experience. To avoid the infrequent rain showers that can occur in this mountainous region, it's advisable to carry waterproof clothing.
Autumn (September to November), particularly early autumn, is another great time for visiting Kapan. During these months, the climate remains comfortable—usually between 12°C and 22°C—and the foliage transforms into a mesmerizing palette of reds, yellows, and oranges. This season is suitable for hiking and appreciating the natural beauty of the Syunik region's landscapes. Moreover, the harvest season allows for the sampling of fresh local produce like fruits and honey, which Kapan and its surroundings are known for. Keep in mind that temperatures can drop significantly in late November, and early snowfall in the mountainous areas around Kapan is not unheard of, hence warmer clothing is recommended if visiting later in the season.
