The Arch of Charents was erected in 1957 and named in honour of Armenian poet Eghishe Charents, who wrote the best poem, dedicated to Armenia, full of true love and pride. They say, Charents loved this place and used to visit it frequently. The author of the construction is prominent architect Rafayel Israyelyan.

A great place to visit, but if you can go there when the Luys Ensemble is performing your mind will be blown. One of the most memorable experiences of my life.

Not too far from Yerevan. But there's no public transportation here. People come in tour groups. Or hired a taxi from Yerevan, like us. Wecombined the trip with Garni visit.
The cave-like church is so extraordinary. We bought some nut-fruit snacks from the vendor outside the monastery complex and it was so yummy.

If you see many monasteries at some point you may come to conclusion that they are all the same. This one is definately different, carved in the rock, surprisingly warm inside. Especially worth seeing is the chamber wjth a little spring inside

I have visited many monasteries recently and this is one of my favorite places. Beautiful architectural style situated in the mountains creates a great setting. The inner rooms are not to be missed with wonderful relief carvings and interesting niches. Well worth a drive to see.

Ւնիճւե Արմենիան արծհիետճտիւտե. A symbol of the unique Armenian architecture, carved upon the mountains. hundreds of monasteries like these all over Armenia, and once-Armenian (now, sadly, Turkish), lands such as Van, and urartu Empire town of Ani. (Western Armenian lands, in history). Visiting Geghard Monastery in the breath-taking Upper Azat Valley in Armenia. Allthough founded in the 4th century, it seems to have been carved in the same age as the stones this monastery is built upon.

This is a monastery almost carved out the side of the mountain.
I got here by taxi along with Garnish temple and another monastery for 25000 total. By bus you go to garnish temple and either hitch or get a taxi.

It's not too big so you can see everything in 30-45 minutes. It's pretty dark on inside so best views from outside.

This was my favorite monastery in all of Armenia. Geghard is cut out of the mountain and I felt like Indiana Jones wandering through the passageways and hidden corridors. Well deserving of the UNESCO World Heritage Site title.

A very pretty monastery. One of the intresting parts is just how old it is. It is a unique thought that many of the monks lived in caves surrounding the monastery.

Very far and tough way to get here. But it worth. How about sing the chant in the upper room. That will be unforgettable memory.
