About this tour

We offer the most memorable and emotion-filled way to celebrate Vardavar!

Vardavar is one of the most beloved traditional Armenian holidays. Originally, it was dedicated to Astghik, the goddess of water, love, fertility, and beauty, symbolized by the rose. After the adoption of Christianity, the holiday came to represent the Transfiguration of Christ, with the tradition of pouring water symbolizing spiritual cleansing.
