Let the town be part of the trip

Goris has a distinctive street plan, stone houses and a surrounding landscape of unusual rock formations. Make time for the town itself before heading out into the wider region.

Give Tatev its own outing

Tatev is a separate regional journey. Arrange your route, confirm the current tramway or road arrangements and keep the return plan clear. Consult current official route advice, especially before improvising a detour.

Give the day room to unfold

Choose a main outing, allow for the mountain roads and check current access before setting out. Ask your host about suitable transport and the return journey.
