Grupptur: Khor Virap, Noravank, Tatev kloster (wayback på linbanan)
Beskrivning
Denna 14-15-timmars rundtur besöker Khor Virap-klostret med sin magnifika utsikt över det bibiska berget Ararat. Nästa stopp är vid klosterkomplexet Noravank, som är unikt i sin konstruktion eftersom Guds Moder Kyrka är det enda tvåvåningsklostret i Armenien. Nästa är Tatev-klostret, ett andligt centrum som hade enastående vetenskaplig och politisk betydelse. Klostret är omgivet av vacker natur. På vägen tillbaka från Tatev tar du världens längsta linbana utan stopp "Tatever".

Khor Virap är den mest kända pilgrimsplatsen i Armenien, eftersom det är direkt kopplat till antagandet av kristendomen. Som statsreligion antogs kristendomen i Armenien år 301 på grund av ansträngningar av Saint Gregory Upplysaren, som, innan han konverterade kung Trdat 3: e till kristendomen, fängslades i fängelsehålan, över vilken en kyrka i Khor Virap kloster byggdes på 1600-talet. Från klostret kan man beundra den fantastiska utsikten över det bibliska berget Ararat.
Genom att passera en smal väg, omgiven av klippor av hundra grottor, upptäcker man en scen av harmoni mellan arkitektur och natur. Klostret, befäst med fina arkitektoniska lösningar och lyxiga utsmyckningar, är ett av de ljusaste exemplen på armenisk arkitektur från 1200-talet. Noravank består av St Karapet, St Gregory Illuminator kyrkor och St Astvatsatsin (Heliga Guds Moder) två våningar kyrka, som är känd för sina ideal konstruktiva och skulpturala arbete.
Kyrkklockorna ringde högt i Tatev den 16 oktober 2010, vilket förebådade lanseringen av ett program för att återuppliva ett medeltida klosterkomplex och öppnandet av "Wings of Tatev" Ropeway. Den 5,7 km långa linbanan, som byggdes inom 11 månader, passerar genom en djup klyfta av floden Vorotan och över kullar, täckta av frodiga skogar. Spårvägen bärs upp av tre torn mellan dess två terminaler. En terminal ligger på en kulle, med utsikt över byn Halidzor och den andra är nära Tatev kloster, på vägen till Tatev byn. Två hytter fungerar samtidigt, som färdas i motsatta riktningar. Det finns 6 kablar totalt (3 för varje stuga), var och en unikt planerad för specifikationerna för detta projekt. Inom ca 11 minuter tar en spårvägs stuga passagerare, 30 åt gången, från byn Halidzor till det magnifika komplexet Tatev.
Bland de arkitektoniska pelarna i Zangezour har klostret Tatev inte sina "rivaler". Det brukade vara det rikaste medeltida klostret i Armenien. Förutom att vara ett religiöst centrum var Tatev också det viktiga strategiska centret för Syunikriket. Beläget på en naturligt försvarad plats, har Tatev kloster alltid varit en ointaglig fästning för främmande. Under icke-stabila politiska förhållanden ledde flera hemliga vägar i fästningens territorium till kanjonen och fungerade som en länk mellan klostret och den yttre världen.

I highly recommend this tour. Marina and Hovsep are an INCREDIBLE team. From start to finish, and between his professional and smooth driving skills and her total mastery as a tour guide and host, we were in perfect hands. This tour will start out at Khor Virap, one of the most famous monastic sites in all of Armenia due to its gorgeous view of Mount Ararat and its proximity to the Turkish border. Fascinating archaeology and history. Next it’s over to Noravank, located in a stunning setting. A first class lunch after that. I’m not kidding, this was amazing barbecue with all the fixings. Once everyone was good and fed, we were off to Tatev. Far flung, the journey there will give you a chance to really see the geographical gorgeousness of this country. And getting to the monastery itself is incredible. The Wings of Tatev ropeway is simultaneously peaceful and exciting, as you glide across this stunning gorge. Tatev itself is a very spiritual place, and you’ll have time to enjoy nature and learn about the religious history and architecture. If you’re on the fence, this tour is worth it. Maybe grab a doppio espresso before you board that bus! Just a thought! Thanks again to Marina and Hovsep for an unforgettable and first-class experience!!!
The tour guide was very informative , slightly laborious in English.. each stop there was enough time to listen to the information of the tour guide and explore by yourself. Lunch was very well provided for with free wine and brandy offered. My favourite stop was the Noravank monastery for the scenery. Overall worth the money. Slight downside was the people I was sat next to on the bus but the operator can't do much about that.
Unique experience. I lived every moment. I wanna do it again.
