OUR POLISH GROUP’S ARMENIA & KARABAKH TRIP
The stunning beauty of the Hunot Canyon and the exquisite splendor of Gandzasar Monastery. The marvelous Noravank Monastery and the medieval Noratus Cemetery along the azure blue waters of Lake Sevan. And in the end, the explosive dinner party at the popular Afrikyanneri Pandok in Yerevan.
Wrapped up in mystery in the heart of the Caucasus, Nagorno-Karabakh remains an enigma, and its natural beauty and cultural heritage makes this unusual region merit a visit. The entire Caucasus region is steeped in ancient history and Nagorno-Karabakh is no exception. With some of its monuments date back for centuries and even millennia, this small complex region boasts a unique cultural heritage.
Gandzasar, Dadivank and Amaras monasteries serve as examples of unique medieval architecture that’s typical of old Armenia, characterized by unique stone carving and masonry. Going beyond the medieval monasteries and khachkar cross-stone carvings, the ancient cities of Nagorno-Karabakh are the fantastic destination for those interested in history, culture and architecture.
Nagorno-Karabakh gets its name from its mountainous terrain, which dominates most of the country. Towering mountains, bottomless gorges and primeval forests trademark Nagorno-Karabakh’s rebellious nature, which makes it great for adventure travelers and hikers.
Like neighboring Armenia, Karabakh has excellent cuisine, as it goes back to antiquity, and as a result, the region has a varied culinary profile, using locally sourced ingredients, with vegetables and meat from the mountains and valleys of Karabakh. The Karabakh fine wines made from indigenous grapes, Khindoghni and Muskat, as well as local berries. You can also try out a Tuti aragh, a strong mulberry vodka, which is typical for the region.
