About this experience

Experience a comprehensive tour with natural wonders, ancient architecture, and cultural heritage. Begin your journey at the Symphony of Stones, located in the Garni Gorge.

This natural wonder is renowned for its towering basalt columns, resembling an organ pipe symphony, and is formed by volcanic activity and erosion, creating hexagonal columns that you can walk along.

Visit the Arch of Charents’s panoramic vistas and the majestic Mount Ararat.

Take in breathtaking views and the serene atmosphere.

Continue to the Garni Temple and wander through its ancient columns. Learn about its fascinating history, including its role as a royal summer residence.

Explore the Geghard Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage site partially carved out of a mountain.

Explore its chapels, tombs, and caves. Journey to Khor Virap Monastery, where Saint Gregory the Illuminator was imprisoned for 13 years before he helped convert Armenia to Christianity in 301 AD.

Conclude your day at the Azat Reservoir, a tranquil spot surrounded by stunning landscapes.

This man-made lake, nestled in the rugged terrain, offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Enjoy the serene waters and the beautiful views.
