Gruppetur: Khor Virap, Noravank, Tatev klostre (wayback på Ropeway)
Beskrivelse
Denne 14-15-timers tur besøger Khor Virap kloster med sin storslåede udsigt til det bibiske bjerg Ararat. Næste stop er ved klosterkomplekset Noravank, som er unikt i sin konstruktion, da Guds Hellige Moders Kirke er det eneste to-etagers kloster i Armenien. Dernæst er Tatev-klosteret, et åndeligt center, der havde enestående videnskabelig og politisk betydning. Klosteret er omgivet af smuk natur. På vej tilbage fra Tatev vil du tage verdens længste svævebane uden stop "Tatever".

start og returpunkt
Khor Virap er det mest berømte pilgrimssted i Armenien, da det er direkte forbundet med adoptionen af kristendommen. Som en statsreligion blev kristendommen i Armenien vedtaget i 301 på grund af indsatsen fra den hellige Gregory Illuminator, som, før kong Trdat III konverterede til kristendommen, blev fængslet i dungeonen, over hvilken en kirke af Khor Virap kloster blev bygget i det 17. århundrede. Fra klosteret kan man beundre den fantastiske udsigt over det bibelske bjerg Ararat.
Passerer en smal vej, omgivet af sten af hundrede huler, man opdager en scene af harmoni af arkitektur med naturen. Klosteret, der er indhyllet i fine arkitektoniske løsninger og luksuriøse udsmykninger, er et af de lyseste eksempler på armensk arkitektur i det 13. århundrede. Noravank består af St. Karapet, St. Gregory The Illuminator kirker og St. Astvatsatsin (Hellige Guds Moder) to-etagers kirke, som er kendt for sit ideelle konstruktive og skulpturelle arbejde.
Kirkeklokker ringede højt i Tatev den 16. oktober 2010, forkyndende lanceringen af et program til at genoplive et middelalderligt klosterkompleks og åbningen af "Vingene af Tatev" Ropeway. Den 5,7 km lange ropeway, der blev bygget i løbet af 11 måneder, passerer gennem en dyb kløft af floden Vorotan og over bakker, dækket af frodige skove. Sporvognen er understøttet af tre tårne mellem sine to terminaler. En terminal er på en bakke, med udsigt over landsbyen Halidzor og den anden er nær Tatev kloster, på vej til landsbyen Tatev. To hytter opererer samtidig, rejser i modsatte retninger. Der er 6 kabler i alt (3 for hver kabine), hver unikt forudsat for specifikationerne i dette projekt. Inden for omkring 11 minutter en sporvogn hytte tager passagerer, 30 ad gangen, fra landsbyen Halidzor til den storslåede kompleks af Tatev.
Blandt de arkitektoniske søjler i Zangezour har klosteret af Tatev ikke sine "rivaler". Det var det rigeste middelalderkloster i Armenien. Ud over at være et religiøst center, var Tatev også det vigtige strategiske centrum for Syunik-riget. At være beliggende på et naturligt forsvaret sted, Tatev kloster har altid været en uforgængelig fæstning for udlændinge. Under ustabile politiske forhold førte flere hemmelige veje i fæstningens område til kanionen og tjente som en forbindelse mellem klosteret og den ydre verden.

Great tour and amazing guide and driver (Samvell and Spartacus)
I went on a tour to Khor Virap, Noravank and Tatev and it was one of the best days I had in Armenia. Our guide Samvel was amazing, full of knowledge, telling us interesting things about Armenia as we were driving and telling us a lot about the history of the places we visited. He also gave us detailed information at the stops, introducing us to Armenian heritage. The lunch brake was wonderful- we were eating at a local restaurant with delicious Armenian food and wine. I’m very pleased with informational as well as organizational part of my tour- our driver Spartakus was amazing, driving very carefully and for a long time. Bus was very clean and comfortable. The only minus was the length of free time in the monasteries- we had around 20 minutes for ourselves. It could be 5-10 minutes longer, but I totally understand from where it comes from- the schedule is very tight and intense in a good way! I totally recommend this tour, I’d love to go for another one with Hyur Services :))
We had a great experience on this tour with Semvan the tour guide and Spartacus the driver. It is the longest day tour of hyur. Everything was on time we felt relaxed. Sam gave us lots of interesting info of the sights and managed all special requests to fulfill. We are greatful for his kindness. Spartacus the driver had a very demanding job I think and he did it at maximum level. I offer everyone to participate in this day tour, don't be afraid of the length, it worth every minute!
Tour guide was very nice friendly and knowledgable. Restaurant for lunch was amazing. Just the length of the tour was long hence the way back was quite tiring and long. The bus made kind of noise which was annoying. But overall all good
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the guide and lunch. We also appreciate your comments about the tour duration and the bus, and will take them into consideration.

Ok, so our whole day tour consisted of Khor Virap, Noravank, Tatev monasteries (wayback on Ropeway). We had Joseph as our driver who was excellent, and our tour guide Eduard who was just amazing. He was friendly, knowledgeable and made a very very long day enjoybale and one to remember. The meal was delicious! If you are thinking about this tour just go for it. The views were stunning.

A very good guide Eduard, interesting places, most beautiful nature. Driver Joseph (Osepy) is the best, with humor, very comfortable driving on the serpentine road
Большое спасибо за положительный отзыв! Всегда рады помочь Вам в организации отдыха в будущем!
This is by far the longest and most tiring trip but totally worth it. Ana is very knowledgeable about the places we visited. We’ve enjoyed our time with her. Araik, the driver is the superstar. It’s not easy to drive in such difficult roads but he did it with mastery. Overall the drive was smooth. Thank you!
Thanks so much for your fantastic review! We would love to host you again whenever you return!
