EXPERIENCE

Departing from Yerevan As the sun rises over Yerevan, we set off for a scenic 40-minute drive to Garni, equipped with state-of-the-art drone technology. Enjoy the beauty of the Armenian countryside, as you prepare to capture the stunning views of the old temple that awaits us.

Treat yourself to a delicious Armenian breakfast in Garni village, where we will review the morning’s visual masterpiece.

Symphony of Stones: We continue our tour to the Symphony of Stones, a natural monument that is located in the basin of the Azat River, near the temple of Garni. The monument consists of huge symmetric basalt columns, which seem to be handmade due to their amazing symmetry. They are also called the “Basalt Organ Pipes” because they resemble an organ.

Geghard Monastery: a UNESCO World Heritage site. Explore the carved chambers, preserving the spirit and artistry of the place. Observe the interplay of light and dark on the ancient stones, and the intricate connection between Armenia’s past and present.

Highlight the khachkars in their cliffside setting, a masterpiece crafted by the artists of centuries ago.

Visit to Charents Arch: a short stop at Charents Arch offers a breathtaking backdrop for your drone’s final show. Capture the majesty of Mount Ararat and the surrounding scenery, creating a vivid portrait of Armenia’s diverse beauty.

Returning to Yerevan As we say goodbye to Garni and Geghard, our drone records the changing landscapes of Armenia in motion. Green hills, curvy roads, and a rainbow of colors unfold below, capturing not only the destinations but the journey itself.
