Stop 1: Shaki waterfall

The Shaki River is a modest influx of the tempestuous Vorotan river, which forms a waterfall with its own amazing beauty. According to a legend, the waterfall got its name in honor of the beautiful Shaki who jumped from a high cliff, not wanting to submit to the violence from one of the conquerors. During the fall, girl’s long dress opened from the wind and turned into a waterfall, which was later called the Shaki waterfall.

Stop 2: Tatev monastery and ropeway

One of the highlights of this tour is undoubtedly the ride on the Wings of Tatev, the world’s longest reversible cable car, offering unparalleled views of the surrounding landscape as it carries you across the gorge to the monastery. In 2010, it got a place in the Guinness Book of record. *Please note the price of one-way ropeway ticket is not included in tour price (6.500 AMD). It should be purchased separately on spot or in our office before the tour.

After completing this breathtaking flight on the Wings of Tatev, you will see Tatev monastery from the 9th century. It was Armenia’s top educational and spiritual centre. The astounding thing is that it is built on the high plateau in the Vorotan river gorge and is surrounded by dense forests and high mountains.

Stop 3: Areni
