One Night in the Cave of Lastiver / Travel to Armenia

If you are looking for something out of the ordinary then we have an intriguing offer for you. Keep reading if you are ready for the most extraordinary adventure of your life.

During these two days in Tavush region of Armenia, you will go back to Paleolithic period and live like a caveman in a real cave. Well…not exactly like in Paleolithic times, of course, but anyway you will experience the life in a cave, with no electricity, no internet connection, no shower… nothing, just the cave, breathtaking nature and you. The sun and the moon will light your way, the sounds of nature will be your interlocutors, and the refreshing waters of the river will be your shower.

This is a perfect way to merge with nature and find the natural meditative state of your mind.

Day 1: A night in the cave

In the morning, we will pick you up at your hotel/apartment and together we will start our unique journey. On our way, we will stop near Lake Sevan and admire the eternal beauty of the lake. Afterwards we will continue our way to the Yenokavan village and prepare for the hike. Before the hike, you will have an opportunity to try the zipline. Then we will go down the Khachaghbyur gorge and find ourselves in a completely different world called Lastiver. We will spend some time around the bonfire and hike up to the caves.

The church – Okonavank, is still standing there, but you cannot find the school anymore. All the way from the caves to Okon, we will walk along narrow paths surrounded by huge trees and deep gorges. We will enjoy every step and get a breath of fresh air.
