Tsaghkadzor - Zipline Flight - Kecharis - Bjni

Tsaghkadzor

As locals joke, in winter it's skiers' time to come here, and in summer – mountaineers'. Look yourself: the Kecharis monastery complex, the Orbeli Brothers Museum, the monument to Leonid Yengibarov, Osip Mandelstam's house, finally (drum roll!) beautiful ski slopes with a total length of more than 35 km – and all this in the popular ski and climatic resort of Tsakhkadzor, which means "valley of flowers" in Armenian.

Kecharis

Kecharis Monastery is a medieval Armenian monastic complex that dates from the 11th to 13th centuries and is located 60 kilometers from Yerevan. In the 11th century, a Pahlavuni ruler founded Kecharis. Kecharis was a prominent religious institution and a seat of higher study in Armenia throughout the 12th and 13th centuries.

Bjni

At an altitude of 1504 meters above sea level, you can see the fortress of Bjni. The Pahlavuni princes built a fortification on the plateau, which for many generations served as the main garrison of the Nig district and guarded the approaches to Bjni.
