Itinerary
Stop at Charents Arch for views of Mount Ararat and the surrounding landscape. Named after Armenian poet Yeghishe Charents, the arch frames the mountain, making it a popular spot for photos. On clear days, you can enjoy an especially beautiful view of Ararat’s two peaks.
Visit Geghard Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site surrounded by dramatic cliffs. Explore its churches and chambers, partly carved directly into the rock, and admire the intricate stone carvings. The monastery’s mountain setting and quiet interiors make it a memorable stop on the route.
Visit Garni Temple, a striking reminder of Armenia’s pre-Christian heritage, overlooking the Azat Gorge. Traditionally dated to the 1st century AD and associated with Mihr, the sun god, the temple is known for its elegant columns and scenic setting. Explore the grounds and enjoy views of the surrounding mountains and cliffs.
Walk through the Azat Gorge to see the Symphony of Stones, a natural formation of towering basalt columns resembling the pipes of a giant organ. Formed as volcanic lava cooled and cracked, these distinctive rock formations are one of the highlights of the Garni area. Take in the scenery and enjoy time for photos beneath the columns.

About Yerevan
Yerevan is Armenia's pink-stoned capital, a city of wide squares, café terraces and museums, with Mount Ararat standing on its southern skyline.
The city grew around Erebuni, a fortress founded in 782 BC, though most of today's centre was built in the Soviet era from the soft pink and orange tuff that earned Yerevan its nickname, the Pink City. Republic Square is the hub, framed by government buildings and museums. The Cascade, a giant stairway of terraces and sculpture, climbs a hillside, and the Matenadaran holds a famous collection of medieval manuscripts.
Top-ranked sights in Yerevan: Republic Square, Tsaghkadzor Ropeway, Matenadaran (Mesrop Mashtots Institute of Ancient Manuscripts).
