Natural Wonders of Lori

During this tour we will discover the wonderful nature of Lori Region. Needless to say, Stepanavan Dendropark should have been included in this itinerary. This is the biggest botanical garden in Armenia. The arboretum is one of the best places to explore the nature of the country in all its charm, beauty and diversity. Each season is so unique and beautiful in this natural reserve. Even autumn and winter visits will leave unforgettable impressions and memories. Stepanavan Dendropark is undoubtedly a perfect place if you want to have a rest or just walk in nature.

The next marvel to be visited is Lori Fortress. Not too far from Stepanavan city, on the left bank of Dzoraget river, one of the impregnable fortresses of medieval Armenia – the fortress of Lori is situated. In the 10-12 centuries it was the center of Lori princedom. After many attacks and sieges the city was gradually abandoned. Already by the end of 18th century only a little settlement was left on the site of once mighty fortress. This place can be found on many tour itineraries and remains an exceptional attraction in Northern Armenia.

Debed Canyon has numerous mind-blowing viewpoints and one of them is Arevatsag Canyon, a place that is often compared to tropical places in Southeast Asia with its dramatic rocks coming out of the water. The area’s nature is so stunning that you’ll undoubtedly need to stop and photograph. You’ll see the iconic rock (called Tsitsqar) alongside churches and fortress ruins, the Dzoraget River, and much more.
