  Adventure ecotour in Khosrov Reserve for adrenaline lovers!!!!

In the territory of the reserve, a 6-kilometer hike awaits us to the mysterious Vahagn waterfall hidden in the rocks and fabulous Astghik waterfall (with a bath!). In the ancient Armenian mythology, the Goddess of beauty and fertility Astghik was the wife of the God of fire and war Vahagn.

 The hike is of medium difficulty. A professional guide will help us overcome difficulties along the way.

It is desirable that Your shoes should be non-slip (!) and sportswear, clothing should be comfortable. It is better to have a hat and sunglasses with You. Be sure to take 1 liter of water and food for one day.

After visiting the waterfalls, UAZ will take us along dizzying mountain paths to the  Akhjots monastery complex (the 13th century). From here You will have a picturesque view to the mountains.

  On the way back, we will stop at the tumble-down church of Bayburd or Geghmahovit (the 5th century). According to the inscription preserved in the church, the village of Bayburd existed until the 17th century. The Armenians were evicted from here in 1604 by the Persian Shah Abbas I.

We will leave the Khosrov Reserve tired but satisfied and go to the last destination of our today’s trip, i.e. Garni pagan temple of the 1st century BC to see it under the evening illumination. Illumination gives the temple an unusual and unique view.
