Reviewed By GadiGi - Tel Aviv, Israel

Not far, on the road before the Jermuk waterfall is the the ark. You can take a walk thru a well build path, climbing up to the higher part or the water trail

Garni Gorge

Reviewed By LuizDutraNeto - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Right below "Garni Temple's" breathtaking cliff, at 23kms East of Yerevan, you will find "Garni Gorge" and the "Basaltic Organ"! Beautiful basalt columns and structures that - at some points - look like were hand cut, so perfect they are! You can walk all the way down from "Garni Temple", or ride a 4WD vehicle with a local driver (that was what our group did). A new road was under construction while we were there. Be ready for awesome views and fantastic pictures to take home. Enjoy!

Basaltic Organ

Reviewed By LuizDutraNeto - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Visiting "Garni Temple", you cannot miss "Garni Gorge" and its awesome "Basaltic Organ" - the hidden pipes of Armenia! Due to volcanic activities, basalt rock formations seem like columns sculpted by extraordinary craftsmen! Just breathtaking! You can walk down all the way from "Garni Temple" on the cliff's edge above, or hire one of the many existing 4WD vehicles with local drivers. Right there, you will immediately understand why "Basaltic Organ" is also known as "Symphony of Stones"! Enjoy!

Medieval Goris Cave Dwellings

Reviewed By AndrewTEllis - Cheadle, United Kingdom

What a fantastic place! Can't believe people lived here right up to 1960. 425 steps (I counted them) down, a walk across a swinging bridge (exciting) and a wander round the old village with cave dwellings, buildings and even a church. Warning: then 425 steps up! (But for the less fit, a taxi service is available).
