Khosrov Reserve

Vahagn and Astghik waterfalls

In Armenia, as in many other countries, paganism has left a deep mark. Some waterfalls in Armenia are even named after the beloved Armenian gods. For example, in the Khosrov Reserve, there are four waterfalls, two of which are located close to each other and are named after Armenian pagan deities, Astghik (the goddess of love and beauty) and Vahagn (the god of fire and war).

The Khosrov Reserve is an ideal place for hiking. And in hot weather, it’s especially nice to stop and refresh yourself by these beautiful waterfalls.
