SAINT SHUSHANIK CHURCH OF BAGARAN
Continuing our exclusive visits to border monuments, we are going to the very impressive, unique church of Saint Shushanik. Surb Shushanik (also known as Shushanavank), located near the village of Bagaran in the Armavir region, on the direct bank of the Akhuryan River, is in the territory of the Republic of Armenia, but near the border. With a special permit, we will get an opportunity to visit St. Shushanik, enjoying Akhuryan river gorge, through which we will reach the unique Shushanavank Monastery. By the way, Bagaran, one of the Armenian capitals, once an important spiritual and political center, spreads out on the other side of Akhuryan; some of its historical layers are still visible. In addition to visiting St. Shushanik, during our wonderful trip, we will see Mt Koghbasar and Araks and Akhuryan Rivers, Yervandashat with a rich historical past from an impressive viewpoint.
Hike distance is 12 km (round trip), relative height: about 300 meters. Some part of road we will pass by truck (7km). You must have hiking shoes and hiking clothes.
