Private Day Trip from Yerevan to Khor Virap, Areni & Noravank

Overview of the tour in Yerevan

Begin your journey with a visit to Khor Virap Monastery, meaning "deep dungeon," a pivotal sanctuary in Armenian history. Intricately woven into the religious and cultural tapestry of Armenia, this monastery rests at the base of the biblical Mount Ararat. According to the Old Testament, it is the site where Noah's Ark found refuge after the Universal Flood. Mount Ararat stands as the paramount symbol of Armenia, resonating with Armenians worldwide.

Next on the itinerary is Areni-1, also known as Birds' Cave. This rocky enclave, adorned with niches and passageways, served as a dwelling for various ancient civilizations across different epochs. Notably, archaeological excavations unearthed invaluable artifacts that have since become significant contributors to global civilization history. Among these treasures is an exceptionally well-preserved ancient leather shoe, deemed the world's oldest, dating back approximately 5,500 years.

Embark on a scenic drive to Noravank, situated in a breathtaking canyon. Translating to "New Monastery," Noravank stands as a crown jewel in Armenian architecture and ranks among the country's most captivating destinations.
