About

Why Visit Armenia?

Armenia is one of the world's oldest civilisations and the first country to adopt Christianity as its state religion in 301 CE. Its landscape is studded with extraordinary medieval monasteries — Geghard, Noravank, Tatev, and Haghpat — that cling to canyon walls and mountain peaks with a dramatic beauty that rivals anything in Europe. Yerevan, the 'Pink City,' is a lively, walkable capital of rose-tuff buildings, outdoor cafés, and a vibrant arts scene, all set against the backdrop of snowcapped Mount Ararat. For Indian travellers, Armenia is visa-free, deeply affordable, and profoundly moving.
