WHERE MOUNTAINS TALK TO THE SKY

It's a journey in the mountains of Armenia, with views of the legendary Ararat Mountain.

Original, exclusive Tour 12 days / 11 nights (from August 17^th to August 29^th 2012) 
The tour is organized every month - from the 1^st till 12^th of each month. 

The number of participants is limited (12 people). Participants must pre-book a place in the group and buy a ticket to Yerevan. We prefer to receive our group of people by the same airplane, or two different ones if needed, to make the logistics easier and more effective for everybody, including meeting people at the Zvartnots airport of Yerevan, bringing them to the hostel / hotel etc. 

The tour goes through unique places of power in the Geghama mountains of Armenia 

During the trip we will dive into the gorgeous mountainous world full of powerful healing energy, where we will get acquainted to the ancient, yet undiscovered culture, which left us petroglyphs and dragon stones, with civilization of Urarts / Urartians, with monuments of the first Christians and with khachkars. 

This is a great chance to start something new, something spiritual. As well – it’s a wonderful occasion for meditation and trainings, for self-development and self-perfection.
