Tour to Khor-Virap-Noravank-Areni winery-Tatev monastery

Khor-Virap. The best place to admire biblical mt. Ararat. According to the history, St. Gregory the Illuminator, the Baptist of Armenia, had been kept in Khor-Virap, in the basement about 13 years for the spreading the Christianity in the country, but then, king Tiridates III, after miracle recovery, imprisoned Gregory the Illuminator, and adopted the Christianity, and thus Armenia became the first country to accept Christianity.

Areni winery is famous for its different kinds of quality wines, here tasting is free of charge, ad every one can choose the best type and buy it.

Noravank monastery complex is one of the picturesque places in the south of Armenia. It consists of 3 churches unique in their architecture styles. The road to the complex follows a river canyon with stunning terrain and spectacular volcanic rock formations. There are many ancient caves in the canyon, and some of them are possible to enter in (for more information,please,contact us).

Tatev monastery is must see place in Armenia. Taking the longest cable car in the world above the gorge,admiring the unforgettable scenery, we get to Tatev monastery. Tatev Monastery was built in 9th century. It is one of the oldest monastery complexes in Armenia,it was a vital scholastic, enlightenment and spiritual center and played a singular role in the country’s history.

Devil's bridge caving

This trip starts with sightseeing in Noravank monastery and Tatev monastery and a ride on Wings of Tatev-the longest ropeway in the world. Then will continue caving in Devil’s Bridge, which is situated in the narrowest and deepest part of Vorotan Gorge. This natural bridge is 30m long and here is the point where travellers can enjoy the splendid view of Vorotan gorge. Devil’s Bridge is a gorge partitioned by the rock fallen from the top. The rock blocked the flow of the river, and the river, in it’s turn, broke a pass beneath this lump, and as a result cave rooms have been made, by the walls of which mineral water flows down forming natural baths with warm water. Truly beautiful place, and to see all the rooms and go through the whole passage with the guide, is necessary to go into the river, sometimes swim. The complexity is low and accessible to everyone, even for clumsy people. Passage in a cave is a true adventure. The entire route takes 2-2.30 hours, but, if desired, it is possible to shorten it. A full itinerary complete soaking in the river, at a short route-partial.

Jeep Tour to Smbataberd-Tsakhats Qar Monastery

Smbataberd is believed to be founded in 5th century, however it reached its maximum capacity of fortification in 10th century. It was connected with Tsakhats Kar monastery by an underground water-supplying pipe. It is not yet clear how exactly and when the fort was demolished: one of the options says that Seljuq turks used a thirsty horse to sniff out the pipeline and cut off the water supply and then demolished it. Another theory suggests that the fort was destroyed during Mongol invasion.
The route starts from Yerevan by 4×4 comfortable car. On the way it’s possible to stop in Khor Virap, then drive to village of Yeghegis to Smbataberd fortress. The group will then continue its way to Tsakhats Kar monastery (10th century). Our next stop will be at Shatin observation point to see Bezoar Ibex on the opposite side of the gorge.

Tour to Saghmosavank-Amberd fortress-Kari lake

Saghmosavank monastery complex was built in 1215 by the princely family of Vachutyans in the village of Saghmosavank just above the deep gorge of Qasagh River which provides additional beauty and charm to the monastery. It is located only 35 kilometers from capital Yerevan, and it takes around 35-40 minutes to get there by car.

Our next stop is Amberd fortress which means “fortress in the clouds”. Currently a ruined fortress of Amberd used to be one of the primary military-defensive points of the Armenian Kingdom. It is situated on the slopes of Mt. Aragats at 2,300 meters above sea level and was built in the XI-XIII centuries. During the March-July period the whole entire territory around the castle is being covered with numerous flowers, which make the fortress castle appear full of life and spirits.

Kari lake is the highest lake in Armenia, it is situated on mt. Aragats and the Altitude is 3400 m above sea level. The lake is formed from ice, the water is cold all year around and most of the year it is surrounded by snow, which brings absolute happiness to everyone who wants to enjoy snow.

Tour to Garny-Geghard- Stones’ Symphony

Garni is located in Kotayk region. It is famous for its beautiful mountainous view and also for its pagan Temple. It is classical Hellenistic temple and the only and the best-known structure and symbol of pre-Christian Armenia.

Many tourists visit Garni and Geghard, but skip visiting the Garni Gorge, as the buses cannot drive down the steep and rough road and it is necessary to walk a bit. But it's worth to go down by suitable car and see a unique magnificent natural sheer vertical well-preserved basalt cliff, so called - the "Symphony of the Stones", as it looks like an organ (musical instrument).

Get rid of an everyday routine and plunge into the atmosphere of happiness with Glide Adventures 🛤️🔝💭

The traveler was active; he went strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting things to happen to him. He goes 'sight-seeing. So let's become a crazy traveler ⛰️

You may think it's somewhere in any beautiful Neverland but it's in Armenia. 🔜 Once our instructor Armen made an incredibly altitude record of 5364 metres! 🔝

No one can realize how substantial the air is, until he feels its supporting power beneath him. It inspires confidence at once.☁☀
