About this experience
The spectacular towering cliffs surrounding the monastery are part of the Azat River gorge, and are included together with the monastery in the World Heritage Site listing. Some of the churches within the monastery complex are entirely dug out of the cliff rocks, others are little more than caves, while others are elaborate structures, with both architecturally complex walled sections and rooms deep inside the cliff. The combination, together with numerous engraved and free-standing khachkars is a unique sight, being one of the most frequented tourist destinations in Armenia. You will discover some of the most popular attractions of Armenia throughout this private tour. The first stop is going to be at the only pagan temple in Armenia, Garni, dedicated to the God of Sun Mihr. Next up you will be amazed by the magnificence of the 13th century Geghard monastery complex, partially carved in the rock and included in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List.
