Havuts Tar is a half ruined monastery, referred to 11-13th centuries, located on a promontory near Garni and Goght villages, along the Azat River Valley. It is a sanctuary with loads of khachkars, tombs and monuments with wondrous, intricate carvings and inscriptions on them. After being hugely damaged by an earthquake in 1679, the monastery was abandoned. Havuts Tar is easily reached through "Khosrov Forest State Reserve", where there is an entrance fee at 10.60 USD (one is forbidden to enter the territory of the reserve with own vehicle). It takes around 30 minutes to reach the ruins of the monastery via Havuts Tar Trail.
