During this off-road tour, we will also visit Zorats Cathedral, which is the only one nowadays with its unique history and structure.

After getting your dose of adrenaline during the off-road tour, wrap up the day at the beautiful and colorful guest house with tea and sweets.

-Smbataberd is a defense complex located in Vayots Dzor province, built by Prince Smbat of Syunik, which is the reason why the fortress is also called Smbat Fortress. The castle is divided by a wall into two parts, northern and southern, in which the ruins of the citadel, residential buildings, and water basins have been preserved. The water was brought from the springs near the Tsaghats Kari monastery by aqueduct.

-Zorats church is located in Yeghegis village and has a very interesting history. Seeing the church, one can immediately notice that its dome is higher than that of other churches. The reason is that before the wars, soldiers always entered the church on horses to pray and receive a blessing, that's why the church is also known as the Soldier's Church by the locals. It was built in the 14th century by Stepanos Tarsayich, Metropolitan of Syunyats province.

-Noravank or Amaghu Monastery is an Armenian apostolic monastery complex built in the 13th-14th centuries. The monastery is located about 3 km from the village of Amaghu in Vayots Dzor.
