Take the 3.5 reversible cable car 🚠 to this beautiful 9th century Armenian Apostolic Monastery locates on a large basalt plateau. The 11 minute ride to the monastery is super fun and costs 7000 AMD (about $15). . . . . . . #tatev #tatevmonastery #monastery #armenia #caucases #visitarmenia #visiteverycountry (at Tatev Monastery) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzLVUiklfot/?igshid=s0tpf12d33cx

📍Geghard Church, Armenia 🇦🇲 . .
