In the morning, your private driver will pick you up from your hotel in Yerevan and drive to Urtsadzor (70km, 1hr 20min).
On the way, visit Gevorg Marzpetuni Castle, also known as Tapi Fortress (10th century), whose rounded stone towers and mountainous backdrop create an idyllic setting.
Arrive at Urtsadzor Eco Center, a unique lodge which aims to study and preserve the region’s distinctive flora and fauna. Your tour on horseback will begin with a crash course on basic riding skills and a testing of guests’ abilities. Your course up the mountain will then be determined, taking into consideration guests' skills.
During your ride up the mountain, you will visit secret mountain enclaves and fall in love with nature all over again. Stop for a 10-15 minute rest in the morning, followed later by a picnic lunch. Relax in the shadow of Mt. Ararat as you take photos, walk around and learn the history and legends of the area.
Begin the descent, with one more short stop along the way. Upon arrival to the Eco Center, dismount and drive back to Yerevan.
