Vorotnavank: is located near Vorotan Gorge. In the monastic cemetery there are inter-
esting carved tombstones. Vorotnaberd is one of the remarkable places of Armenia. It was
built in 450 and was the castle where the troops of Vardan Mamikonyan stayed.
South of the Sisian-Goris highway lie the ruins of "Kotrats Karvansara" built in 1319 by
the
Orbelyans as a intersection of the silk way. The carved inscription in Armenian on the
door of the Karvansaray is almost entirely blurred out but the inscription in Persian a little
above it has preserved.
Among other most interesting and popular places of Armenia is also the peak of Mt.
Ukhtasar. There are over 2000 carved rocks with the images of different animals, house-
hold and hunting articles in Ukhtasar. This place provides a unique source to explore an-
cient culture. The locatity is hard to reach that's why it is preferable to organize excursions
in the period from the middle of July to the end of September.
Near Shaki village, at a distance of 6 km from Sisian you will see a marvelous view
- Shaki waterfall. Originating from many springs this natural wonder is the largest water-
fall in the mountains of Small Caucasus. Rushing down from the top of the high rock in a
broad, foamy stream the mountain rivulet falls into the beautiful gorge. Its murmur is heard
from afar.
You can enjoy a wonderful rest in this cosy comer of nature and bathe in the pure foams
of the waterfall...
The nature of Syunik Region will fascinate you with its poetry and will change your
perception of beauty. This land enveloped in legends seems to have no beginning and no
end.
