Discover Dzoraget

The hotel on the banks of the Debed is located in the Dzoraget Canyon and offers a restaurant, pool, and hot tub. Activities also include horseback rides, a cooking class, and access to rafting on the Debed; access to Haghpat and Sanahin is also offered. Hnevank is another destination for a day trip, reached by hikers from nearby villages via well-marked trails. Hotel amenities, activities, and a hiking visit are therefore separate factors to consider.

Hotel on the Debed: Location and Amenities

The hotel is on the banks of the Debed in the Dzoraget Gorge. Amenities include a restaurant, pool, and hot tub, as well as access to the nearby monasteries of Haghpat and Sanahin. When making your decision, it helps to distinguish between the location and the individual amenities: the riverside setting describes where the hotel is, the pool and hot tub are hotel facilities, and Haghpat and Sanahin are destinations to visit outside the hotel. If a facility or amenity is important to your choice, confirm its availability for your planned dates; operational details may change.

Horseback Riding in the Canyon

The horseback rides offered by the hotel follow three routes through the Dzoraget Canyon, green fields, and mixed forests. Rides last up to three hours and are offered from April to November. For planning purposes, the routes, possible duration, and season are all relevant: you can consider whether the scenery along the tours appeals to you and whether your travel dates fall within the season. Confirm seasonal availability again before your trip.

Cuisine and Cooking Class

The restaurant serves Western Armenian and local cuisine made with fresh ingredients from the region. The cooking class has a different focus: it includes a meal featuring dishes prepared by the participants. This lets you choose between the restaurant’s cuisine and an activity that includes cooking as part of the program when planning your meals. Confirm the cooking class’s availability in advance, as it may change.

Rafting on the Debed

The hotel also offers access to rafting on the Debed. When choosing activities, you can compare the river experience with the horseback rides along routes through the canyon, green fields, and mixed forests. Rafting availability and conditions may change, so confirm the offering for your planned dates.

Hnevank and Hiking Access

Hnevank is located in a gorge on the right bank of the Dzoraget River. Hikers can reach the monastery from nearby villages via well-marked trails. Unlike the horseback rides, which have a stated season, road and trail conditions for Hnevank may change; check conditions before your visit.
