What you can expect

  • Visit two of Armenia’s ancient monasteries and the town of Alaverdi on this small group tour from Tbilisi. Cross over the border with your experienced guide who will take you through the highlights of Northern Armenia in just 1 day.

    Depart at 8:30 AM sharp for a 1.5-hour trip across the Georgian-Armenian boarder. Almost immediately you’ll start to notice changes in the landscape—the fields will become rocky mountains and the scenery takes on a certain apocalyptic touch, due to the many abandoned Soviet mines and factories. Your first stop is the fortified monastery of Akhtala, where you can marvel at the beautifully preserved blue frescoes and learn about the thrilling history of this Georgian-Armenian creation.

    Then, you’ll reach the UNESCO-listed monastery complex of Haghpat, where you’ll learn about the Armenian stone crosses and the mystical poet Sayat-Nova.
    A local family welcomes you for a traditional Armenian lunch in their house near the Haghpat monastery.
    After that continue to the monastery of Sanahin, also known as the brother monastery. The village of Alaverdi offers fascinating Soviet memorials and decaying industrial sites. Arrive back in Tbilisi by around 7:00 PM after a full and fascinating day.
