1. Noravank Monastery

This monastery dates from the 13th century and is completely different from other Armenian monasteries. "Noravank" means "new", so this the the "New Monastery". On its first floor, the mausoleum of Prince Burtel Orbelian and his family. Right on its façade, a narrow stone-made staircase (very dangerous, I must say) leads to the upper floor and to "Surb Astvatsatsin", the "Holy Mother of God Church"! It is a major religious and cultural center in Armenia and its visit could be combined with the one to "Khor Virap Monastery", as both monasteries are not very far from each other. Enjoy!

the gorge is stunning, the rocks amazing colours and the little restaurant on the right just after you turn into it is well worth a stop. The monastery is beautifully situated

Stay at The River House and enjoy a nice gentle scenic walk through Yeghegis Village up to this magnificent historic church that is mostly in original condition. There are wonderful views from the church.
