Garni temple, one of the most famous historical and architectural monuments among tourists, is located in Kotayk province. It is the only structure preserved in Armenia from the pagan period, dedicated to the god Mihr.
Before reaching the temple, we will have a stop on the way to Charents Arch, from where a wonderful view of Mount Ararat opens.
Then we will visit Geghard Monastery (Ayrivank), where according to the legend, from the XIII century the spear with which Christ was pierced was kept here.
As a part of the tour, we will visit the Azat River gorge, where we will see the “Symphony of Stones՛”, a miracle of nature. The natural monument, also known as the ՛՛Basalt Organ՛՛, is famous for its magnificent, seemingly artificial rocks.

Cần Quan Tâm
Charent's Arch
While passing through the village of Voghjaberd, the architect Rafael Israelyan often noticed that a wonderful view of Mount Ararat opens from the nearby hill. And here, in 1957, Israelyan completed the structure he designed, which is called the Mount Ararat Temple. The last line of Yeghishe Charents's poem is engraved in visible large letters on the front entrance. "Go to the world; there is no white peak like Ararat, like the path of unripe glory; I love my Masis mountain." Very soon the place got its new, popular and more widespread name - The Arch of Charents. We start the tour with the viewpoint of Mount Ararat, the symbol of Armenia.
The Monastery of Geghard
Geghard Monastery is a medieval monastery in the Kotayk province, being partially carved out of the adjacent mountain, surrounded by cliffs. The name commonly used for the monastery today, Geghard, or more fully Geghardavank, meaning “the Monastery of the Spear”, originates from the spear which had wounded Jesus at the Crucifixion. It is believed, that the spear was brought to Armenia by Apostle Jude, called here Thaddeus, and stored amongst many other relics. Now it is displayed in the Echmiadzin treasury. The monastery complex is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site with enhanced protection status.

Beautiful sites but heavily biased and inaccurate historical narrative

1.00I appreciated seeing the sites and wanted to share some honest feedback. A lot of the historical explanations felt quite emotional and selective, and not always supported by established historical evidence. For example, our guide Meri Mkhtaryan said Geghard Monastery was destroyed by Arabs, but there is no historical evidence supporting that. Meri also said Garni Temple was destroyed by Arab invasions, when it is well established that it was destroyed by the 1679 earthquake. Overall, her commentary throughout the tour felt heavily focused on themes of victimhood and conflict, rather than giving a balanced presentation of Armenian history and cultural heritage. That was disappointing, because it meant less attention was given to celebrating Armenia’s cultural and historical achievements in a more complete way. I did enjoy seeing the sites themselves, but I think more careful accuracy and balance would significantly improve the experience for visitors.
A magical day with Meri, who is an incredible and kind person. She explained the country's history and culture to me wit
