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.

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.

  • My first experience was disappointing. They need to upgrade their logistics.

    This was my first time to try the company, and I am disappointed. I have booked quite in advance (around 10 days before) through their website and paid, got all the confirmations by email. I first didn't like the quality of emails, as there was not enough information about pick up address, and some links were broken. However, when we showed up, we found out that they do not even have our booking! It was very embarrassing experience, especially when I was with a friend, who came to visit me from abroad. They claimed, besides emails I needed to get confirmations through WhatsApp and only then the confirmations are final. Anyway, after some time they still managed to squeeze us in bus with another language group and I was offered to sit in the guide's seat, while the guide will remain standing for the whole tour. While we ended up be on the tour, as you can guess, that was already extremely uncomfortable experience for me and it was not our fault. I hope they will fix their infrastructure, to not cause such unpleasant experiences in future. For now I will refrain to use or recommend the company, until I'm sure such bugs are fixed. Overall the tour was fine. The guide was really making efforts to do his best. However my another complain is that the tour was very russia-centric. I understand there are quite Russians these days in Armenia, but I don't think it is ethical to treat everyone else like a russian, like explaining prices in russian rubbles, or using russian linguistic concepts/terms, etc. It was a bit weird for those who are not russian in the group, even if they understood the language.

    Our family trip to Armenia was filled with incredible sights, but one of the most memorable days was our visit to Garni Temple, Geghard Monastery, and the breathtaking Symphony of Stones. The combination of history, culture, and natural beauty made this excursion an unforgettable experience for all of us. We began our journey at Garni Temple, perched on a scenic plateau overlooking a dramatic gorge. The ancient structure stood proudly against the backdrop of mountains and blue skies. Walking around the temple with my family, we were amazed by its classical architecture and the panoramic views surrounding it. The peaceful atmosphere allowed us to appreciate both the historical significance of the site and the stunning landscape. Next, we traveled to Geghard Monastery, a remarkable medieval complex partially carved into the surrounding rock cliffs. As soon as we entered, we felt a sense of tranquility and wonder. The stone-carved chapels, intricate carvings, and centuries-old architecture created a unique and spiritual environment. My family enjoyed exploring the different chambers and learning about the monastery's rich history. The natural setting, surrounded by towering cliffs and greenery, made the experience even more special. The highlight of the day was visiting the Symphony of Stones, a spectacular natural formation located in the Garni Gorge. As we approached the site, we were immediately struck by the sight of enormous basalt columns lining the canyon walls. The perfectly shaped rock formations resembled giant organ pipes, creating a scene unlike anything we had ever seen before. We spent a long time walking along the gorge, taking photos, and admiring the incredible geological wonder. The combination of ancient landmarks and natural beauty made this day truly exceptional. The fresh air, scenic landscapes, and fascinating history kept every member of our family engaged throughout the trip. It was a wonderful opportunity to experience Armenia's cultural heritage while also enjoying some of its most impressive natural attractions. Overall, visiting Garni, Geghard, and the Symphony of Stones with my family was one of the highlights of our journey through Armenia. The experience offered the perfect mix of history, adventure, and breathtaking scenery, leaving us with lasting memories and a deeper appreciation for this beautiful country.

    Guide was excellent. Symphony of Stones is beautiful. In my opinion, this would be better as a half day tour by removing the lunch.

    A nicely organized tour, with lots of interesting information from Hasmik, our tour guide who is very knowledgeable and fluent in English (and Russian). Sadly, the Mount Ararat wasn't visible today, but the monastery, the temple, and the canyon were amazingly beautiful. I'll definitely be back here for more. We got a small bottle of water each, and lunch options were available near Garni Temple. Make sure you wear comfy shoes as there's a bit of walking to do if you want to fully enjoy it.

    The trip is amazing, a tour focused on Armenian culture and the religions that have existed throughout the ages. A special mention for Egor, our guide, who conveyed to us the love for culture and for his country. Everything was truly very beautiful. I highly recommend it.
