Kndzoresk

The old village of Kndzoresk is a highly attended place in terms of hiking tours in Armenia.

The village is widely famous for its old rock formations and ancient caves with dug windows and doors which were inhabited till the 1950s. The beds dug right in the walls of the caves make you imagine how people used to live there, what they did and looked like. Remains of an old cheese factory are found in one of the caves. There is also a cave which is turned into a little museum right there which displays all the interesting and unusual things that were found in those caves: a coal iron, a spindle, an ancient type of butter making machine etc.

After this rocky environment you wouldn’t refuse to go deeply into the green nature, would you?

Tatev Monastery

There is no place more harmonious than Tatev Monastery being hugged with the green fields and forests of the mountains that surround it.

In October 2010 Wings of Tatev, world’s longest cableway from Tatev to Halidzor village was opened. It is breath-taking to look down from the cable car and see all the beauty of landscape from a bird’s eyes view.
