Description
Explore the abandoned villages of Old Shinuhayr and Old Khot, visit Tatev Monastery, then see Goris and the cave dwellings of Khndzoresk on a private full-day SUV trip from Yerevan.
Go beyond the usual Tatev day trip and discover a quieter side of Syunik. Travel from Yerevan in a private SUV with a flexible early departure between 6:00 and 7:00 AM, agreed in advance. The early start leaves more time at each stop. Walk through the atmospheric remains of Old Shinuhayr and Old Khot, abandoned villages set in dramatic canyon scenery, with time for photography and exploring. Then continue to Tatev Monastery, one of Armenia's most important medieval monasteries, perched on the edge of the Vorotan Gorge. Next, stop in the town of Goris and visit Khndzoresk, known for its cave dwellings carved into the rock and its long suspension bridge. Your group has the vehicle to itself, with one fixed price for 1-4 guests. Complimentary Armenian coffee and bottled water are included. The Wings of Tatev cable car is optional and not included.
