What To Expect
Garni Temple
The pagan temple of Garni was built in the second half of the 1st century by King Trdat III. This is the only pagan temple, which has been preserved on the territory of Armenia. After the adoption of Christianity it became the summer residence of Khosrovadukht, sister of King Trdat III. It was destroyed in 1679 by an earthquake. Parts, fragments of graceful columns and wall stones were spread around the temple. It is supposed that the temple was dedicated to Mithra, the God of the Sun. The temple of Garni is included in UNESCO World Heritage List.
Charent's Arch
Charents Arch is located near Yerevan, between the pagan temple of Garni and Geghard Christian monastery complex in the village of Vokhchaberd. At first glance, the Arch seems to be the most ordinary and unremarkable, but coming closer, passing to the platform inside the arch and looking at the panorama, everything becomes clear – this is the best place to admire the great and sacred mountain of Ararat, to be in unity with it and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

5.00This was one of the best excursions in our Armenia trip. We believe that the Geghard Monastery is the most beautiful monastery from the inside. We were picked up on time, everything worked out super well, friendly driver, we felt very comfortable, the Garni Temple is absolutely a must! Thank you for this tour!

5.00We took a 5-person tour, our guide was Hakob Ezikyan and the driver Rudolf Pogosyan, it's over. It's great. Loved the picturesque places, the trip was comfortable and delicious. A sea of emotions and vivid experiences were remembered, in addition to the gorgeous memorable photos taken by the Guide. We learned a lot, the guide always kept the conversation going, it was very nice and interesting. We would love to repeat the tour and unequivocally recommend friends and loved ones.

5.00Tour lasted 5 hrs, the places are very popular and therefore quite busy, especially Geghard monastery, but it was well worth. David was an excellent driver, extremely careful in avoiding bumps, gave us good suggestions, and his vehicle was spotless.
