Jeeping Tour: Fortresses & Sacred Trails of Vayots Dzor

Embark on a one-of-a-kind jeeping adventure through the breathtaking landscapes and medieval wonders of Armenia's Vayots Dzor region. Starting from the remote village of Artabuynk, this 3-hour guided 4x4 tour takes you deep into the mountains, where history, nature, and spirituality converge.
Your journey begins with a climb to Smbataberd Fortress, a 10th-century stronghold dramatically perched on a ridge overlooking the Yeghegis Valley. As you explore its ancient walls, enjoy panoramic views and a glimpse into Armenia's proud warrior past.
Next, head off-road to the serene Tsakhats Kar Monastery, nestled in the hills among wildflowers and stone-carved chapels dating back to the 10th–13th centuries. A peaceful yet powerful site, it's a place for reflection and connection to centuries-old faith.
Finally, visit the rare and symbolic Zorats Church (St. Astvatsatsin)—a 14th-century open-air church once used to bless soldiers before battle. Its spiritual energy and unique architecture offer a meaningful close to your highland experience.
Optional transfers from Yerevan and outdoor lunch experiences are available to elevate your adventure.
