Start your journey with a visit to the Garni Temple, the only surviving pagan temple in Armenia. Built in the 1st century AD by King Trdat I, the temple was dedicated to Mihr, the sun god. Garni is an outstanding example of ancient architecture in Armenia, influenced by Greco-Roman styles.
Explore the temple complex with its impressive colonnades and unique architecture. Take a walk through the Garni Gorge, famous for its striking basalt formations. Learn about the historical and architectural significance of the temple and its role in Armenian culture. From here, enjoy a stunning view of Garni Gorge, a natural wonder that attracts thousands of visitors each year.
Next, head to Geghard Monastery, one of the holiest places in Armenia. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Geghard attracts visitors not only for its history but also for its unique architecture. This monastery, carved into the rock, was founded in the 4th century and was home to important religious relics, including the Spear of Longinus.

Enjoy scenic views of the surrounding gorge and natural landscapes. This monastery is not only a historical treasure but also a peaceful place, filled with the spirit of ancient faith and solitude.
Then, visit the Symphony of Stones, a geological marvel. This unique formation consists of towering hexagonal basalt columns, which resemble organ pipes. These stone structures were created by volcanic activity millions of years ago and have become one of Armenia’s most captivating natural wonders.
Walk among the giant stone columns, which form an almost musical landscape. Capture incredible photographs of this natural wonder, set against the backdrop of the gorge and mountains. Be awed by the geology and natural beauty that surround you.
The final stop of the tour will be Charents Arch, one of the best spots to enjoy a panoramic view of Mount Ararat. This arch was built in honor of the famous Armenian poet Yegishe Charents, and it’s a cultural landmark for those who appreciate Armenian poetry and nature.
