Carahunge (Armenian Stonehenge)
Start your day at Carahunge, often called the “Armenian Stonehenge,” near Sisian. This prehistoric site is over 7,500 years old and consists of 223 vertically standing stones, some of which are over 3 meters tall. Archaeologists and archaeoastronomers suggest that Carahunge served as an ancient astronomical observatory, used to track celestial movements, solstices, and equinoxes. Local legends also link the site to ancient rituals and spiritual practices, adding a mystical aura to this remarkable location.

Goris has a long history dating back to the Middle Ages and serves as a gateway to the natural and cultural landmarks of Syunik Province. The town is also known for its local crafts, food, and friendly community, making it a perfect spot to enjoy Armenian culture.
Khndzoresk Cave Village & Swinging Bridge
Next, explore Khndzoresk, an extraordinary village famous for its cliffside cave dwellings, where people lived for centuries, carving homes directly into the soft volcanic rock. Walk along the suspension bridge, which spans the deep gorge, and admire panoramic views of the lush valley below.
