From Yerevan: Tatev Monastery, Khndzoresk, & Areni Tour Tatev Monastery, Khndzoresk & Shaki Waterfall Tour

Explore the Syunik Province on a guided tour from Yerevan. Visit the Tatev Monastery, cross the Khndzoresk Swinging Bridge, and enjoy a wine tasting at the Areni Winery.
Begin your journey with a ride on the Wings of Tatev, a 5.7 km (3.5 mi) cableway between Halidzor and the Tatev Monastery. It is the longest reversible aerial tramway built in only one section and holds the record for the longest non-stop double-track cable car.

Enjoy a 12-minute ride from Halidzor station to the Tatev Monastery, a much shorter trip than the 40-minute ride along the steep serpentine road that follows the Vorotan Gorge. Reach a maximum height of 320 meters. Each cabin accommodates 30 passengers and one steward.

Next, visit the Tatev Monastery, a 9th-century Armenian Apostolic Christian monastery located on a large basalt plateau near the village of Tatev in the Syunik Province.

Continue to the Swinging Bridge, located in the village of Khndzoresk in the Syunik region. The bridge, which connects the two “banks” of Khndzoresk – the Old and New, was put into operation in June 2012. The bridge has a length of 160 meters, a height of 63 meters, and weighs 14 tons. Approximately 700 people of average weight can simultaneously cross the bridge.

From the bridge, enjoy breathtaking views of the gorge. Not only can you see the four churches of Khndzoresk from the bridge, but also the famous “Nine Children” source.

Next, visit the Shaki Waterfall, situated 6 km from the town of Sisian. On the left side of the river Vorotan's gorge, basalt lava flows have solidified to form a ledge 18 meters high from which the waterfall cascades down. It is registered in the list of state natural monuments of the Ministry of Environment of Armenia.

Finally, stop at the Areni Winery for a tour and wine tasting.
