Overview

Embark on an unforgettable journey through the historic Tashir-Dzoraget region, where Armenia’s rich history unfolds before your eyes.

As you embark on this adventure, you will uncover the architectural wonders of the 13th century and gain insights into the secrets of ancient Armenian craftsmanship.

Your first stop is Sanahin Monastery, a 10th-century marvel. This complex stands as a testament to the zenith of Armenian religious architecture, seamlessly blending Byzantine ecclesiastical elements with traditional vernacular styles of the historical Gugark.

Next, prepare to be captivated by the exquisite basalt bridge. Explore the fascinating intricacies of medieval bridge construction while enjoying the scenic beauty.

Then, you will visit the Haghpat Monastery, one of the largest and most impressive monastic complexes in Armenia, founded by Queen Khosrovanush, in AD 976.

Conclude your journey with a visit to the awe-inspiring Akhtala: one of Armenia's best-preserved fortresses.
