Overview

Garni is the only surviving pagan temple in Armenia; the Havuts-Tar monastery, located in a secluded and beautiful place; Geghard monastery complex, most of which is carved into the rock. You will walk this entire path in the company of very intelligent and loyal animals – horses. During the hike you will communicate with the horses and feel their calmness; You will walk through the wonderful canyon without feeling tired.

A most interesting excursion.
Maria
I took it for two (for myself and my son). It turned out to be expensive, but endlessly interesting; we were simply overwhelmed with impressions. We rode both at a trot and at a gallop. The horses are obedient, not timid, and confidently prance even along the edge of the gorge. I highly recommend this excursion! This is probably the best thing we had in Armenia!
