This day is truly an unforgettable one due to the diversity of experiences you will have. The first stop will be at the only preserved Pagan Temple in the whole region- Garni Pegan Temple from 1st century AD. The temple is located at the old Garni Fortress on the top of a gorge. The fortress is surrounded by deep gorge from 2 sides. One can imagine the life of the royal family that was living at that corner of the heaven as their summer residence. Truly royal environment! After we will drive further to see another pearl of Armenian Architecture- Medieval Geghard Monastery complex located at the rocky gorge of Azat river. The complex is partly carved out of a rock and it is believed to have healing water coming from one of the rock-cut rooms. It is well-recognized that one of the most famous Christian relics in the world- the Holy Spear was kept in this monastery complex from 13th to 18th century. It gave a name to the monastery- Geghard means spear in Armenian. Both Geghard Monastery Complex and Garni Pegan Temple are included at the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. At the lunch time there is possibility to see how the local people bake a famous Armenian bread lavash. It is traditionally baked at clay ovens fired by fruit tree wood or grapevine bushes. At the second part of the day you will drive to Azat river gorge full of basalt rock columns.
