Cave Village Khndzoresk - Local Lunch Yeghegndzor - Tatev Monastery
After breakfast, begin with a city tour of Goris, known for its unique rock formations and traditional stone houses. The tour continues to the fascinating cave village of Khndzoresk, where you'll take a short walk across a swinging bridge that spans a massive gorge. This leads to ancient cave dwellings, which were inhabited until the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into Armenia’s past. Next, enjoy a homemade lunch at a local house in Yeghegnadzor, where you’ll have the opportunity to taste traditional Armenian dishes paired with the family’s homemade wine. This meal provides not only a taste of Armenian hospitality but also a chance to connect with local traditions. The journey continues to the Tatev Monastic Complex, an important center of learning from the 9th to 13th centuries. To reach the monastery, you'll take the Wings of Tatev, the world’s longest nonstop double-track cable car, offering breath-taking views of the surrounding landscape. After exploring the monastery’s rich history and architecture, return to Goris for dinner and overnight at your hotel, reflecting on a day filled with cultural, historical, and natural beauty.
