Lastiver

Located in northeastern Armenia, on the outskirts of Yenokavan village in Tavush region, Lastiver is a hidden natural gem. To reach it, one must descend through dense forests into the Khachaghbyur River gorge. At the end of the trail, a magnificent view of the Lastiver waterfall unfolds. Lastiver seems to embody all the colors of nature's palette. A visit here offers not only breathtaking scenery but also a chance to witness historical and cultural treasures. The area features cave-monasteries, the Sarnajur River, and both large and small waterfalls. The cave is located on the slope of the gorge, and to access it, people built wooden ladders resembling a raft—which is how Lastiver got its name.
