Description
Embark on a hiking tour from Yerevan to the Havuts Tar Monastery. Explore the Garni Temple, Symphony of Stones, and Khosrov Forest State Reserve.
Begin your journey at Armenia’s only standing Hellenistic temple, the Garni Temple. Learn about Garni not just as a museum monument, but as a living place of power surrounded by dramatic gorges.
Follow a steep trail into the Azat River Gorge and discover the famous basalt column formations — a natural “organ pipe” carved by volcanic forces. This is an iconic stop for geology lovers and photographers.
Enter one of the world’s oldest protected natural areas, founded in the 4th century. Walk through wild landscapes, ancient pastures, and the habitat of Armenian mouflons, foxes, and golden eagles.
Climb along an old monastic path. Along the way, see abandoned caravanserais, medieval khachkars, and untouched views over the Khosrov canyon.
Reach the dramatic ridge where the ruined monastery stands, hidden among the harsh volcanic hills. From the top, enjoy panoramic views of Mount Azhdahak, the Geghama Mountains, and Mount Ararat on clear days. Hear stories about the hermits who once lived here and the ancient manuscripts created in this remote sanctuary.
