One of our favourite getaways in Armenia’s Aragatsotn province, is the area around Astvatsankal monastery which was built and extended from 4th to 13th centuries.
A bit further below of the monastery, there is a well maintained camping spot in the gorge, right at the banks of the Kasagh river.
The photos below were taken from around the monastery. The altitude is around 1790m / 5873ft in the area.
Yesterday, my daughter was invited to her friend’s birthday party. They were celebrating it in a children’s café near the Hrazdan river, which flows in a gorge though Yerevan.
After dropping her off, I had a few hours to spare. The weather was quite pleasing for this time of the year, so I decided to take a stroll across the river bank till it’s time to pick her back up.
Here are a couple of photos that are worth sharing.
