In the northwestern part of Tsaghkadzor, embraced by mountain peaks and evergreen forests, stands Kecharis Monastery – a spiritual treasure of medieval Armenia. Its origins date back to the 11th-13th centuries, when this grand complex rose in the mountains as a beacon of faith and learning. The ensemble includes four churches and two narthexes, each bearing the mark of centuries and the craftsmanship of master builders. One of the narthexes became the resting place of Magister Grigor Pahlavuni – the distinguished statesman and founder of the monastery, whose name remains etched in Armenian history.

Хочу оставить отзыв о новогодней экскурсии в Цахкадзор и Севан. Все было прекрасно, как и всегда в Hyur Service! (Это не первая моя экскурсия в Hyur Service). Отдельно хочется выразить благодарность водителю Ашоту и гиду Давиду. Все было очень доброжелательно, душевно и информативно. Давид очень много интересного рассказал про историю Армении. Большое спасибо!
