Highlights

Khndzoresk Swinging Bridge - Khndzoresk is a unique place of interest, famous for its ancient caves, where people lived until the 1950s. Khndzoresk was considered a historical monument, which was preserved by the Soviet Union.
Two banks of the gorge - Old and New Khndzoresk, are connected by a long swinging bridge, from which four churches of Khndzoresk and a spring of Nine children are visible. The bridge was built in 2012 on the initiative and sponsorship of local businessman Zhora Aleksanyan. The length of the bridge is 160 meters, height 63 meters, and weight - 14 tons. The bridge can simultaneously “service” about 700 people with an average weight.
Tatev Monastery - Tatev Monastery (IX-X century) is located in Syunik province. The monastery has a rich history. Tatev was not only a spiritual, but also an educational center. One of the best universities, where the humanities were studied, functioned here during the Middle Ages. The monastery buildings stand almost on the edge of a steep cliff, from where visitors can admire a stunning picturesque scenery of the gorge.

The path to the monastery was quite long and difficult years ago, by car it was necessary to get to the place along the mountainous road-serpentine. However, after the opening of Tatever ropeway (Wings of Tatev), the path to the attraction takes very short time. It also gives a lot of amazing unforgettable impressions. It should be mentioned that Wings of Tatev holds the record for the longest non-stop double track cable car.

Shaki Waterfall - Shaki waterfall is located on the Shaki River (a tributary of the Vorotan) in the north of Sisian city.
Shaki waterfall is located in a deep gorge, rich in rocks and caves. Traces of human activity dating back to the Stone Age were found here. The Shaky waterfall is located in the Vorotan Gorge, 3 km northwest of Sisian, on the river Shaki. The height of the waterfall is 18 m.

Pleasant tour - After a disastrous start due to Get Your Guide not sending our names to the tour operator, everything went well. The one way tour team managed to find us two seats despite the sold out by rearranging the minivans. The Get your guide operator, who I promptly contacted via chat, instead told us "I'm sorry, we will refund your money, don't take the trip!". Even the guys from one way tour initially tried to divert us onto another tour (but we had already done it with a driver) or to move this one to the next day, but when they learned that this was our last day in Armenia they immediately took action to find a solution, while the get your guide operator was not at all interested in the fact that we would have wasted our last day. So I advise you to book tours directly with the one way tour team to be on the safe side! The tour was enjoyable. Very good driver despite the long and winding road. The guide, Arina, was very kind and knowledgeable. Had it not been our last day I would have booked other tours with them.
