It flows southeast and south of the Aparan reservoir, east of the village of Apnagyuh in the south and, taking the right tributary of the Gegharot, enters the Kasah gorge. The most watery and steepest is the middle stream of Kasakh, especially near Ashtarak and Oshakan, where the river valley is a deep valley up to 200 m high. Below the village of Oshakan, Kasakh enters the Ararat valley and joins the Amberd tributary on the right, splitting into several rivers at the mouth of the river and connecting with Sevure on the left.
