Geghard, Garni and Sevan lake

The tour starts with a visit to Geghard Cave Monastery – a UNESCO World Heritage site. The monastery is partially carved in the scale, assuring the great acoustics of the sacred place. Optional: An emotionally moving Vocal concert of early medieval Armenian Religious Music in the cave part of the monastery. Afterwards, drive to Garni village and visit Garni Pagan temple. Garni is the only pagan temple that remained in Armenia from where the great panoramic view of Azat river gorge and Khosrov state reserve opens. Enjoy the extremely touching duduk (national musical instrument made of apricot tree) performance in the temple. Lunch at the house of Armenian rural family (or in a local restaurant) with demonstration of Armenian Bread “Lavash” baking process in underground traditional oven - Tonir.  After master class, drive to Sevan Lake perched high in the elevated Armenian terrain, which is the largest, sweet water lake in Caucasus situated at this height of 2000 meters. Enjoy a trip in the Soviet type of boat on Lake Sevan (approx. 45 minutes) and return to the peninsula. Drive back to the meeting point in Yerevan.
