Description

Garni and Geghard is one of the best routes for a first introduction to Armenia and an ideal day trip from Yerevan. Ancient history is combined here with mountain landscapes, the deep Azat River Gorge and some of the country’s most unusual natural formations.

The journey includes Geghard Monastery, with part of the complex carved directly into the rock, and the ancient Garni Temple. The route then descends into the gorge to the famous Symphony of Stones, followed by lunch and a traditional lavash-making experience, with an opportunity to take part in baking Armenian flatbread in a tonir.

On the way back, there will be a stop at Azat Reservoir, one of the most photogenic landscapes near Yerevan.
