Noravank tours from Yerevan

Noravank is a monastic complex in Vayots Dzor, near the village of Amaghu, set in a gorge of red volcanic rocks. Its Holy Mother of God Church is also known as Burtelashen. Sculptures, khachkars and inscriptions are part of the complex, giving visitors details to look for alongside the buildings themselves. For a traveller interested in Armenian religious architecture, these features help explain what distinguishes a visit to Noravank within a wider itinerary.

The tours from Yerevan approach the monastery in different ways. A private itinerary names Noravank as its sole stop, while a group route pairs it with Gnishiki Gorge. Other group and private routes combine Noravank with Khor Virap and Areni, and some also list Jermuk. Compare the individual stop lists to decide whether you want a monastery focused outing or a route through several destinations. Check the full programme of the chosen tour for its format and the specific places it visits.
