Levon varpet’s Cave-Museum is a unique cave museum, created by the hands of a man, Levon Arakelyan in Arinj village. The master’s wife once asked him to dig a cellar. As a result – seven rooms on different levels, smooth and ceilings created without any drawings. In total, the master deepened 21 meters and dug almost 150 meters of corridors. The intersection of the passages form a cross, in the middle of which there is a holy place. One of the original and mysterious inventions of the warp is a fireplace with a ventilation shaft, which he cut from the bottom up without the help of technology. The master felt that someone was leading him, advised how to arrange the rooms, where to turn the corridor.

The high season in Armenia lasts for a long time due to the pleasant climate conditions. Warm days in Armenia start in March and last until late autumn; winter is usually snowless and not long. The high precipitation season is variable. The tourist season for Levon’s Divine Underground depends on the weather conditions.
The temperature in the cave does not change: in summer and in winter the temperature does not rise or fall - a stable temperature is 10 degrees. The principle of the Master Levon was to dig by hand - with cutters and hammers. He did not accept the tempting offers of electrical appliances and equipment.
