Overview of your Artashat tour:

Get to the closest point to the national symbol of Armenia - the snow-capped Mount Ararat (nearly 17. 000ft). In the Bible it is the mountain where the Noah's ark landed after the Great Flood. It's still believed to be covered in the eternal snows of the mountain. There are so many fascinating stories and legends about this place. . . Marvel at the elegant chapels and be captivated by the ascetic atmosphere of the site of Khor Virap fairy-tale castle monastery sitting at the confines of 4 countries, located on the Turkish border.

Your Artashat tour itinerary

We drive to the south through the agricultural heartland of Armenia, Ararat Plain offering an amazing panorama of endlessly stretching apricot orchards and vineyards guarded by the remote majesty of the mysterious twin peaks of Mount Ararat. Marvel at the view of the mountain and enjoy the narration of your guide as we are on the grounds of Khor Virap Monastery, a 4th century castle-like fairy-tale monastery, the most iconic site in Armenia and one of the most important Christian sites in the world. Its location, near the closest point to biblical Mount Ararat within Armenian borders, offers a spectacular view of the snow-capped mountain, the national symbol of Armenia. It's the most popular destinations in Armenia for a number of reasons, primarily because it is where St. Gregory the Illuminator was imprisoned for 13 years before curing King Trdat III of a disease. This caused the conversion of the king and Armenia into the first officially Christian nation in the world in the year 301A. D.
