ITINERARY

Introduction

One of the great methods of relaxation is walking, especially when you are walking on the paths of mountainous areas, lush forests and natural monuments. Our walking tour to Armenia will give you that opportunity. The tour is a great offer for those who are fond of walking. Breathing fresh mountainous air, enjoying every step of your trail and experiencing local hospitality is a simple delight! In the Walking Tour to Armenia we included mesmerizing routes trough the historical sites of Armenia which are still intact and are worth visiting.

Spitakavor - Goris
After having breakfast at the hotel you will head to Vernashen village from where your hiking starts to Spitakavor Monastery. It is a 14-century Armenian Monastic Complex near the town of Yeghegnadzor. The hiking route is not one of the hardest one, you will reach the monastery by following the dirt road. The name Spitakavor means white in English and comes from the white polished felsite stone which it was built of. The monastery is also home to the grave of the Armenian military leader, political thinker Garegin Nzhdeh. On the way back you might have a chance to see the endemic Armenian Bezoar goats. The day will end with an overnight in Goris.

TRIP REVIEWS (16)

Samuel Hoover

Arara Tours organized a really exciting adventure for us. The routes were fascinating and interesting, we
especially enjoyed walking through the forest trails during the unpleasant heat of the day. I personally
memorized most of all the walk towards Parzh Lake, and of course the episode when we managed to see
the Bezoar goats! It was a really nice surprise on the third day of the trip. I will be really happy to
recommend your company to my friends as well.

Very satisfied with Arara. My Armenia adventure included hikes through beautiful landscapes, monasteries, fortresses, villages, mountains and waterfalls. The tour offered a great view of many different regions while enabling our group to experience delicious foods and great hospitality. Our guide, Vardan, was not only knowledgeable, but a fun companion who made sure that we had everything we needed while providing great insights into the culture and places that we explored. Thanks Arara for a great experience!
