Meghri Tour – 3 Days

Description

Three days in the far south of Armenia is a journey through Vayots Dzor and Syunik to Meghri and the Araks River valley. Along the way, the landscapes gradually change from the Ararat Valley, the dramatic cliffs and vineyards of Areni to deep gorges, high mountains and the almost subtropical scenery of Armenia’s southernmost region.

On the journey south, the route includes Noravank, a winery in Areni, and Tatev Monastery, reached by the famous Wings of Tatev cable car above the Vorotan Gorge. The first and second nights are spent in Kapan, a mountain city located at the foot of Mount Khustup.

The following day continues farther south to Meghri, close to the Armenian-Iranian border and the Araks River. On the return journey, the program explores the surroundings of Kapan with Vahanavank Monastery and Baghaberd Fortress, followed by a stop at Shaki Waterfall.

The 3-Day Meghri Tour is designed for travelers looking beyond Armenia’s classic routes — from the wineries of Vayots Dzor and Tatev to mountainous Kapan and the far south of the country.
