About this experience
These sights are worth visiting to get a full picture of Armenia! You will visit the Khor Virap Monastery and learn about its complex history, see the marvel of nature - the Azat Reservoir, enjoy Lake Sevan, and conquer Gutanasar - a volcanic mountain-plow.
What to Expect
Khor Virap Monastery. This is the place where the fate of Grigor, the son of a Parthian military leader, was decided. After enduring many trials, he was destined to become the first patriarch of Armenia and lead the Armenian people to Christianity. This sanctuary, which was previously a prison, exudes incredible energy. You will admire the architecture, descend into the 5-meter 'pit,' and see the biblical beauty - Mount Ararat.
Azat Reservoir. For fans of Martian landscapes - this is the place to be! This is a true marvel of nature, known not only in Armenia but around the world. The reservoir is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and on the tour, you will appreciate its beauty!
Lake Sevan. This mountain lake is located at an altitude of 1890 meters above sea level. You will look at it from an observation deck, where the 10th-century Sevanavank monastery is also located. Within its walls lies an unusual stone cross - an Armenian khachkar.
Gutanasar or the Plow Mountain. Made of black volcanic pumice, this mountain offers an easy 15-minute trek. You will learn about the history of this place and take photos in stunning natural settings.
