Khor Virap & Noravank Photo Tour

Description

One day — two completely different landscapes of Armenia. Early in the morning, we travel to Khor Virap to photograph the monastery at sunrise with Mount Ararat in the background — one of the most iconic views in Armenia. In May and early June, we will also try to capture another special scene: Mount Ararat rising above flowering fields.

After the morning photography session, the journey continues into Vayots Dzor to Noravank, dramatically situated among steep red cliffs. An optional visit to a local winery can be arranged along the way, and when visibility is good, we can drive towards Khachik village for another unusual perspective of Mount Ararat.

The Khor Virap & Noravank Photo Tour is a full day of photography for travelers who want to capture several completely different sides of Armenia in a single journey.
