Geghardavank, Garni Temple and the Symphony of Stones
- 10:00 Departure
- 11:00-12:20 Geghardavank Monastery
The Region of Kotayk is no exception when it comes to the beauty of landscape and nature. The region has everything to offer, including the assets to take you further back to the pagan past of the country.
Only about 45 mins away from Yerevan, Geghardavank Monastery is truly unprecedented. Carved out of the cliff it is located on, the multi-chambered complex is a unique example of the medieval Armenian Christian architecture. - 12:30-14:00 Lunch (including demonstration of Lavash-Baking)
The lunch with a stunning view of the Geghama mountain range will complete the first half of the day. - 14:00-14:45 Garni Temple
Your walk in the courtyard of the Garni Temple will take you back almost 2000 years to the times when the locals worshipped multiple gods. The architectural style of the pagan past and the laid-back location will leave you recharged and well-traveled. And go figure! Those beautiful vertical column-like rock formations can be seen from very close! - 15:00-16:30 Symphony of Stones in Garni Gorge
The famous Symphony of Stones will surely strike as something you have never seen before. The amazing volcanic-origin rock formations are a brilliant testimony to the tectonically active history of the vicinity. - 16:30 Return to Yerevan
