What you can expect

Your guide will pick you up from your hotel in the morning in order to drive you comfortably to your hiking site, located about 2.5 hours from Yerevan in the Tavush region. The small village of Kirants itself is located near the border with Azerbaijan. The Kirants Forest however is situated inland, far from the steppe which already marks the border.

Your hike will begin in the hamlet of Acharkut, located at the edge of the forest. You will move slowly along a fairly straight footpath which has very little altitude difference, and later you will stop in a heavenly spot to rest at the hike's halfway point.

You will then continue trekking before reaching the highest point on your tour, the Monastery of Kirants. This monastery is perched on a hillside outcrop, and dates back to the 8th century. It was founded by Armenians, who adopted Chalcedonism. The monastery is composed of small bricks, and its architecture is sometimes reminiscent of classic Armenian character, yet sometimes represents different styles due to the materials used in its construction. After a break in the refreshing silence of this monastery, you will descend back down the hill. Your tour vehicle will then be waiting for you at your starting point to take you comfortably back to Yerevan.
