We were fortunate to visit Akhtala Monastery during Sunday morning service on a beautiful sunny day with natural sun rays coming through via the windows which highlighted the beautiful paintings inside. This is a unique site to visit if you like Gregorian Churches. The rings outside on the monastery grounds are interesting as well and are meant to represent the hurdles that couples must go through and the tradition is for couples to hold hands and step on the snake and scorpion as a symbol of overcoming difficulties together.

Odzun church is on of the oldest churches in Armenia (dated back to 6th century). It is located in Lori province. The nature around the church is very beautiful and this makes the place very charming. One can sit near the church and admire both the church and surrounding.

The hike alone is worth the experience to get to the monastery. The Monastery is in ruins but its easy to imagine what it may have looked like. It is nestled amongst rock and cliff escarpments with caves for protection and viewing oncoming invasions. This monastery is a must see if you are looking for something different from the usual tourist site.
