Would you like to discover Tumanyan’s source of inspiration — the enchanting nature of Lori — alongside one of the famous characters from his story, Gikor?

We’re heading to the village of Dsegh in Lori Province, following in the footsteps of the Great Armenian Poet. As part of the tour, we’ll visit the Hovhannes Tumanyan House-Museum. Our next stop will be the nearby St. Gregory the Illuminator Church. From there, we’ll hike a scenic trail leading to St. Gregory Church of Bardzrakash.

At Bardzrakash, we’ll be joined by Albert Ghulinyan — the actor who played Gikor in the iconic film. He’ll share his personal experiences and behind-the-scenes stories from the filming. On our way, we’ll see Gikor’s spring, where — according to the locals — the story’s beloved characters Gikor and Hambo once drank water.

At the end of the hike, we’ll enjoy the mirror-like beauty of Lake Tsov’er, surrounded by the breathtaking landscape that once inspired Tumanyan’s timeless works.

P.S. The total hiking distance is about 2 km and is of medium difficulty. Participants are advised to wear sports shoes, comfortable clothing, and a protective hat.
