Geghard Monastery

Garni and Geghard are two small towns, roughly 30 and 40 minutes by car from Yerevan respectively. For such popular day-trip destinations- Garni with it’s ancient temple and Geghard with it’s UNESCO-listed monastery- neither are particularly easy to reach using public transportation. There is a bus that runs between Yerevan and Garni, but none go all the way out to Geghard. You would either have to transfer to a second bus line in Garni or take a cab out to the monastery (including wait time and return), which won’t be cheap for a solo traveler.
