This tour goes far beyond the usual monastery route — it’s a real journey through time and contrast. You’ll explore the UNESCO-listed monastery of Haghpat, symbol of Armenia’s spiritual and cultural heritage, and then dive into the country’s more recent history with a Soviet MiG-21 jet and an abandoned cable car station perched above the canyon.

Adding to that, you’ll enjoy a guided hike to Kayan Fortress, a hidden medieval stronghold offering breathtaking views over the Debed Canyon and Alaverdi. The combination of ancient architecture, Soviet relics, untouched nature, and light adventure makes this experience one of the most diverse and memorable ways to discover Northern Armenia.

Haghpat Monastery

At Haghpat, travelers will explore one of Armenia’s most impressive UNESCO World Heritage Sites, a masterpiece of medieval architecture surrounded by dramatic canyon scenery. Your guide will share the stories behind its ancient stone carvings, cross-stones (khachkars), and secret passages once used by monks. You’ll walk through peaceful courtyards where time feels frozen, enjoy panoramic views of the Debed Canyon, and discover how faith, education, and art came together in this 10th-century spiritual center. It’s not just a church visit — it’s a journey through Armenia’s Golden Age of culture and craftsmanship.

Kayan Fortress

Your adventure continues with a scenic hike to Kayan Fortress, a medieval stronghold perched high above the Debed Canyon. The trail winds through peaceful forests and open ridges, offering breathtaking views of Alaverdi and the surrounding mountains. At the top, the ruins of Kayan Fortress reveal centuries of history — once a defensive post guarding the trade routes of Northern Armenia. It’s a quiet, photogenic spot where travelers can rest, take in the panorama, and feel the spirit of ancient Armenia far away from crowds.

Our tour was absolutely fantastic, largely thanks to our guide who spoke excellent English, making communication smooth and easy throughout the trip. He showed me the stunning landscapes of Armenia, including the breathtaking Lake Sevan and the beautiful monasteries. Since we finished early, we even had time for a hike in the nearby area, which made the day even more fulfilling. It was a well-organized, enriching experience and worth every penny. I highly recommend this tour, especially for those traveling in Tbilisi who are looking to explore Armenia’s beauty!
We traveled to those scenic places which will not be covered by normal tour agencies.

Our tour around Georgia was perfectly organized including hiking, local vineyards visits and wine tasting. The guide was extremely knowledgeable, sharing interesting stories about every place we visited — Yerevan, Hermon, Dilijan, Tbilisi, Stepantsminda, Kutaisi, Mestia, Ushguli, Gelati. The driver was very professional and drove safely through all kinds of mountain roads. Both were punctual, respectful, and very hospitable. We truly experienced the warmth of Georgian people through them! We learned so much about Armenia and Georgian culture, food, and history — and always felt safe on the road. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Armenia and Georgia!
I would highly recommend Irakli as the tour leader to everyone visiting Armenia and Georgia. He's genuine , witty, knowledgeable
