Very disappointing. The road to the canyon is in terrible condition and is not suitable for regular passenger cars. As for the destination itself, I honestly don't understand the hype around this place. The canyon is much less impressive than it looks in photos. The area isn't particularly green, doesn't feel very clean, and overall the scenery is quite underwhelming. There are many more beautiful places in Armenia that offer better views and a much more enjoyable experience. I wouldn't visit again or recommend it.

Another great expedition in this majestic canyon. Allow half a day to traverse it entirely in a 4x4.
