Tour to Khor Virap, Geghard and Garni Temple, Group 8 hours
Overview
An hour drive will bring us to Khor Virap Monastery located in the Ararat plain situated about 100 meters away from the closed Turkish-Armenian border (sealed by barbed wire fencing) and defended by Russian military establishments.
Heading to south east of Armenia our 1st stop is the legendary Monastery of the Spear at Geghard Monastery. This UNESCO World Heritage site was carved into the rock to house one of the most cherished relics of Christianity.
We continue our drive to Garni village and stop in a family restaurant to have our lunch there and try lavash(flatbread made in a tandoor).
We visit Garni Temple, a first century A. D. Graeco-Roman pagan temple probably devoted to Mithra. We may hear Armenian visitors give an impromptu choral concert.
