Beschreibung

Explore southern Armenia on a full-day trip from Yerevan. Visit the Noravank and Tatev monasteries, ride the Wings of Tatev cable car, and explore the ancient cave village of Khndzoresk.
Begin your journey with a visit to Noravank, a 13th-century monastery dramatically perched on the edge of a gorge. Carved into red limestone cliffs, Noravank is one of Armenia’s most photogenic treasures. Discover the history of the Orbelian princely dynasty who built Noravank, admire the intricate carvings by the famous sculptor Momik, and climb the narrow stone staircase of Surb Astvatsatsin Church for panoramic views of the canyon.

Continue your journey toward Syunik Province, where you’ll visit one of the most iconic landmarks of Armenia — the Tatev Monastery, a 9th-century stronghold of faith and wisdom. To reach Tatev, soar above the deep Vorotan Gorge on the Wings of Tatev cable car — the longest reversible aerial tramway in the world (5.7 km).

Explore the Tatev Monastery complex, including churches, fortifications, monks’ cells, and secret passages. Learn about the Tatev University, once a renowned medieval center of science and philosophy, and enjoy panoramic views of deep gorges and lush hills from the monastery cliffs.

Your final stop is Khndzoresk, a mesmerizing ancient village carved into the rocky cliffs of eastern Armenia. Once home to thousands of people, the cave dwellings here were inhabited until the mid-20th century. To reach them, cross the famous 160-meter long swinging bridge, suspended high above the gorge.

Explore hundreds of ancient cave homes hidden in the cliffs, visit the tomb of Mkhitar Sparapet, a national hero, and hear legends of how families lived and survived in these stone homes centuries ago.
