Discover Armenia's rich cultural heritage and natural beauty in a one-day tour. Visit Tatev Monastery, soar on the Tatev Ropeway, explore Noravank and Khor Virap, Shaki Waterfall
Embark on a one-day journey through Armenia's most captivating cultural and natural treasures. This immersive tour takes you to some of the country's most iconic landmarks, combining breathtaking landscapes with ancient historical sites.
The tour begins with a visit to Tatev Monastery, a 9th-century masterpiece perched dramatically on the edge of a cliff in the southern part of Armenia. This architectural gem, once a significant center of learning and spirituality, offers not only a glimpse into Armenia’s rich religious history but also stunning panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The remote location of the monastery, high above the Vorotan River Gorge, adds to its mystical charm.
Next, experience a unique perspective of the region by riding the Tatev Ropeway, also known as the "Wings of Tatev." This cable car holds the Guinness World Record as the longest non-stop double-track ropeway, stretching nearly 6 kilometers. As you glide over the gorge, you’ll be treated to awe-inspiring aerial views of the lush green valleys and the impressive cliffside monastery. The ride is a remarkable way to appreciate the natural beauty of the region from above.
After descending from the ropeway, unwind at Shaki Waterfall, one of Armenia’s most picturesque natural wonders. The waterfall, located near the town of Sisian, cascades down from a height of 18 meters into a serene pool surrounded by lush greenery. It offers a peaceful setting to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the region after the breathtaking experience of the Tatev Ropeway. The sound of the rushing water and the refreshing atmosphere make Shaki Waterfall a perfect retreat amid nature's beauty.
The tour continues with a visit to Noravank Monastery, a site nestled deep within a narrow gorge surrounded by dramatic red rock cliffs. Noravank, built in the 13th century, is known for its intricate carvings, including depictions of Christ and other religious figures. Its location, framed by towering rocks, makes it one of the most photogenic sites in Armenia. The architectural beauty of the monastery, combined with its unique setting, creates a perfect harmony between nature and human craftsmanship.
From Noravank, you’ll head to Khor Virap Monastery, one of the most sacred sites in Armenia. Located near the border with Turkey, Khor Virap offers spectacular views of the snow-capped peak of Mount Ararat, a mountain steeped in Armenian history and legend. This ancient monastery is significant as the site where Saint Gregory the Illuminator, the patron saint of Armenia, was imprisoned for 13 years before converting the country to Christianity in 301 AD. The spiritual significance of Khor Virap, combined with its stunning location, makes it a must-see destination.
