Afterwards, we will travel to the pagan period of Armenia and see the only pagan building which survived Christianity: the Temple of Garni. From here, we will return to the Christian era and visit the famous Geghard monastery, which is carved into the mountain.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_34956\" style=\"width: 796px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34956\" class=\"wp-image-34956 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/geghard.jpeg?resize=786%2C458&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Geghard Monastery\" width=\"786\" height=\"458\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/geghard.jpeg?w=786&amp;ssl=1 786w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/geghard.jpeg?resize=300%2C175&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/geghard.jpeg?resize=768%2C448&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/geghard.jpeg?resize=705%2C411&amp;ssl=1 705w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/geghard.jpeg?resize=450%2C262&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 786px) 100vw, 786px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-34956\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Geghard Monastery<\/p><\/div>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While you are in Armenia and have the chance, it is essential to visit the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin, which is the spiritual center of Armenia and the seat of the Armenian Catholicos. Thus, we will visit this place. Next, we will drive to Zvartnots Cathedral, which was one of the tallest buildings in its period.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the evening you will have free time to walk in Yerevan and relish the night life of the city.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h3>Day 3: Time For New Experiences<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the morning we will drive to Khor Virap monastery, which is the place from where the Christian era originates. Khor Virap means \u201cdeep pit\u201d. It\u2019s the place where Gregory the Illuminator was imprisoned for 13 years. Do you want to go down to that pit and feel what Gregory once felt? On this day you\u2019ll have that opportunity. After experiencing the \u201cpit\u201d you could use some wine. So we will head to Areni, which is the well known wine region of Armenia. Once you feel better, we will continue to Noravank monastery, which is surrounded by enormous bloody-red rocks. You would think that the rocks seem so red because of the wine in your veins, but the truth is that it\u2019s the rocks\u2019 natural color. <\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_20776\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20776\" class=\"wp-image-20776 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Kohrvirab.jpg?resize=1200%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Khor Virap\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-20776\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Khor Virap Monastery<\/p><\/div>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next is lunch in the cave, which you need to experience while in Armenia. From here we will continue to the wonderful Shaki waterfall and then visit the monument Zorats Karer, which people call the Armenian Stonehenge. Maybe you will feel some supernatural energy while walking between those huge mysterious stones. This is because our ancestors believed that the area was a place of power. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a long day you\u2019ll reach the hotel in Goris city and prepare for a good night\u2019s rest to regain your strength. <\/span><\/p>\n\n<h3>Day 4: The Old and the New<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the morning after breakfast we will drive to an old village called Khndzoresk with its cave houses and a long swinging bridge which connects the two main sides of the old village. From a swinging bridge we will move to a cable car Tatever and reach the famous monastery Tatev, which you can see everywhere on the internet, while searching Armenia and would be a shame not to visit.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_30480\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30480\" class=\"wp-image-30480 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_2338.jpg?resize=1200%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Old Khndzoresk\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_2338.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_2338.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_2338.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_2338.jpg?resize=1030%2C687&amp;ssl=1 1030w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_2338.jpg?resize=705%2C470&amp;ssl=1 705w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_2338.jpg?resize=450%2C300&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-30480\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Khndzoresk<\/p><\/div>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After examining the monastery we will continue to the times without cars, when people were traveling on camels. And of course camels are not cars and they needed rest, so prince Chesar Orbelian built the Orbelian Caravanserai to accommodate weary travelers and their animals, who were passing through Vardentas Pass. Afterwards, we will visit the biggest and oldest cemetery of Armenia &#8211; Noratus. It has over 800 khachkars (cross-stone) and gravestones, carved between 9th-17th centuries. It deserves a \u201cwow\u201d, right? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The day ends at the hotel on the shore of lake Sevan.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h3>Day 5: Fairy Armenia<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the morning we will drive to the Sevan Peninsula, which used to be an island. The Sevanavank monastery was built in that island. The position of the monastery made it almost impregnable and it survived the attacks of many invaders. From here we will continue to Dilijan &#8211; a city surrounded by dense forests of Dilijan National Park. Not only are there breathtaking views, but also the city is rich with history and culture.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_34967\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34967\" class=\"wp-image-34967 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/landingpage-dilijan.png?resize=800%2C363&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Old Dilijan\" width=\"800\" height=\"363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/landingpage-dilijan.png?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/landingpage-dilijan.png?resize=300%2C136&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/landingpage-dilijan.png?resize=768%2C348&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/landingpage-dilijan.png?resize=705%2C320&amp;ssl=1 705w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/landingpage-dilijan.png?resize=450%2C204&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-34967\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Old Dilijan<\/p><\/div>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then, there will be a visit to an Armenian Traditional Art and Craft Center in the Tufenkian Centre. After leaving Dilijan we will visit Haghartsin monastery (13th century). Haghartsin is Armenian for \u201cDance of the Eagles\u201d. The monastery is located in a picturesque area, surrounded by forests. Before returning to Dilijan we will visit the monastery Goshavank, deep in the woods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The night will be spent in a cozy and atmospheric guesthouse. <\/span><\/p>\n\n<h3>Day 6: UNESCO World Heritage Sites &amp; Breathtaking Nature of Lori<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After homemade breakfast we\u2019ll drive to Byzantine monasteries Sanahin and Haghpat, which used to be important educational centers. These two monasteries represent the highest blossoming of Armenian religious architecture between the 10th and 13th centuries. Haghpat and Sanahin monasteries are included in the World Heritage List of UNESCO. The last monastery visit of the day will be Odzun and then we will continue to Lori fortress, which used to be a big cultural and trading center.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_27379\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27379\" class=\"wp-image-27379 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/lori3.jpg?resize=1200%2C803&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Lori Fortress\" width=\"1200\" height=\"803\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/lori3.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/lori3.jpg?resize=300%2C201&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/lori3.jpg?resize=768%2C514&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/lori3.jpg?resize=1030%2C689&amp;ssl=1 1030w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/lori3.jpg?resize=705%2C472&amp;ssl=1 705w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/lori3.jpg?resize=450%2C301&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-27379\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lori Fortress<\/p><\/div>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Walking by the ruins of the fortress try to imagine the erstwhile bustling lanes and the lively atmosphere&#8230; almost 10,000 people once lived in that territory. We will proceed to move on to a quiet and peaceful place called Dendropark. After spending the most part of the day sitting in a bus a little walk wouldn\u2019t hurt. This botanical garden is like a heaven on earth. There are more than 2500 species of plants and 500 species of trees in Dendropark. After a relishable walk in a park we\u2019ll drive to Vanadzor city for the overnight stay.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h3>Day 7: Familiarity With One of the Oldest Cities in the World<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the morning we will drive to one the most atmospheric cities of Armenia &#8211; Gyumri. It is the second largest city of Armenia as well. The tour in this amazing city you will cherish forever. Gyumri is one of the oldest cities in the world, but because of the devastating earthquake in 1988 80 percent of the city was destroyed and until now one can clearly see the consequences of that horrible event. But enough about the past; now Gyumri is thriving year by year and spending time in that historical city can fill you with a real satisfaction.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_35067\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-35067\" class=\"wp-image-35067 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/32183971702_8cc5e1dede_b.jpg?resize=1200%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Marmashen Monastery\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/32183971702_8cc5e1dede_b.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/32183971702_8cc5e1dede_b.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/32183971702_8cc5e1dede_b.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/32183971702_8cc5e1dede_b.jpg?resize=1030%2C687&amp;ssl=1 1030w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/32183971702_8cc5e1dede_b.jpg?resize=705%2C470&amp;ssl=1 705w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/32183971702_8cc5e1dede_b.jpg?resize=450%2C300&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-35067\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Marmashen Monastery<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We will then be driving to Marmashen monastery after the city tour. Marmashen is a 10th century monastery and is an outstanding example of medieval Armenian architectonics. It has a similar architecture with Ani Cathedral in Western Armenia (modern day Turkey). After exploring the monastery we will drive back to Gyumri. An evening walk in the city is encouraged.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h3>Day 8: From Gyumri to Lake Kari<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After breakfast we will drive to the monastery Ohanavank (Hovhannavank). It used to be a very important educational and spiritual center of Armenia. But besides its historical importance it has one more advantage &#8211; the position of the monastery. It is located on the top of a gorge from where you can enjoy the breathtaking view of Kasagh gorge, take amazing photos and make people jealous :)<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_35070\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-35070\" class=\"wp-image-35070 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/11509420855_8b6f9a8a93_b.jpg?resize=1200%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Hovhannavank Monastery\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/11509420855_8b6f9a8a93_b.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/11509420855_8b6f9a8a93_b.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/11509420855_8b6f9a8a93_b.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/11509420855_8b6f9a8a93_b.jpg?resize=1030%2C687&amp;ssl=1 1030w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/11509420855_8b6f9a8a93_b.jpg?resize=705%2C470&amp;ssl=1 705w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/11509420855_8b6f9a8a93_b.jpg?resize=450%2C300&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-35070\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hovhannavank Monastery \/ Photographer Sako Tchilingirian<\/p><\/div>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5 kilometers away from Ohanavank another significant monastery is located called Saghmosavank, which is the next stop for today. We will then continue to Amberd fortress (7th century) located on the slopes of the highest mountain of Armenia &#8211; Aragats. Amberd is one of the best preserved fortresses of Armenia, and is worth visiting. And finally you will find yourself on the highest point of your whole journey.
