Jeep tour in Armenia (jeeping) - a trip on off-road vehicles on mountain trails of Armenia. Off road in Armenia is a mass of positive impressions and emotions. Plus-adrenaline and a sense of extreme sports. Therefore  developing the excursion program of jeeping tour in Armenia on off road vehicles, we focused on its educational component.

The first is communication with the wildlife of Armenia, its species diversity. You will see endemic, rare and endangered animals of the Red Book - bezoar goat, brown bear, perhaps  Armenian mouflon and others. The jeeping route crosses the migratory paths of the rarest Persian leopard, and if you wish you can explore the camera traps installed along the way.

Armenia’s biodiversity will surprise you - from mountain steppes and dry canyons to alpine meadows and flowering  gorges. And wild medicinal herbs growing here are in demand all over the world.

The second important component of our off-road trip is the cultural, historical and archaeological part. Ancient settlements, monasteries and fortresses, burials and mysterious petroglyphs, a caravan - shed, an observatory under the open sky, khachkars  of 5 - 13th c. and much more, will open before you the world of the early Christianity and the enlightened Middle Ages.

Off road tours to Armenia are conducted by experienced drivers who have undergone special training.

Jeep tours in Armenia are a real trip for true experts of tourism!

The ascent to the top of the hill where the Smbataberd fortress was built - a classical fortification complex of the Middle Ages (10-13 c.). The fortress was considered impregnable  and fell only once when the invaders released horses and mules in the field fed with salt. Those tormented by thirst unearthed the pipeline feeding the fortress with water. Soon the fortress fell.

Two kilometers to the west is the monastic complex Tsakhats Kar (10th century). The monastery consists of three parts - the churches of St. Nshan and St. Karapet  decorated with magnificent khachkars, the church of St. Astvatsatsin with a porch, a column hall, a refectory and other office premises and a large cemetery near the remains of the monastic walls.

Then go to the high mountain fortress Proshaberd (13th century) - the residence of Prince Prosch. It was also considered impregnable and fell just like Smbataberd  when the Persian king found a source with the help of mules that feeds the fortress with water. But Prince Prosh managed to hide the treasure somewhere near the mountains. And if you correctly interpret the signs on the rocks, then according to legend they can be found.

Thematically they are divided into several groups. The main ones are geometric “drawings” and scenes with mainly bezoar goats hunt  episodes.

It is known that these caves were settled 2-3 years ago and have not been studied to the end. Many grottoes are interconnected by secret passages dug by people. This allowed during the attack of enemies to move to safer places.

Lunch on the route

We leave in the direction of Tatev monastery complex - the pearl of Armenian medieval architecture. It was founded in the 9th century. In the 14th century the university which was considered the largest and most advanced in the South Caucasus  began to function here. The relics of 11 apostles, apostle Paul, Grigor the Illuminator, St. Hripsime and the hair of the Virgin are kept in Tatev. The architecture of the complex is masterpiece and inimitable. The oldest church - the Temple of Grigor the Illuminator - dates from the middle of the 9th century. Among the unique works of architectural and engineering art is a cult monument - "Gavazan"  erected in 904.
