Faith and religion have always played an important role, both in the tribes’ life- ancestors inhabited in the Armenian highlands, and in the life of already established Armenian people. Both at the times of pre-Christianity, and after.
People have lived and built fortresses in Armenian Highland since ancient times. Only remains of cyclopean fortresses in the regions of Aragats mountain, Sevan lake, Syunik mountains and also in many places, reached us.
Armenian mountains are the mountains of the Armenian Highland, where Armenians originated and developed, and which is one of the world's civilization centres. People have lived here, since the Paleolithic Age.
Armenian Highland is a watershed for the rivers of Asia Minor. The three largest lakes of Near East are situated here. Also, rivers Euphrates and Tigris originate from the Armenian Highlands. Because of this, in ancient, mostly in Assyrian cuneiforms, the Armenian Highland is called Nairi - the country of the rivers.
When we think of Armenia, it's the mountains that come to our mind first. We are one with this terrain, these snowy peaks, deep canyons and blooming valleys that spread wide between the rocky ranges, and, in our tours to Armenia, we want to share this with you!
The mountains of Armenia, ancient and mighty, symbolize our aspirations and our will. They bear centuries-old wisdom, acting as a link between our past, present and future. The mountains are the heart and the soul of Armenia, the manifestation of harmonious unity of the man, the nature and God.
We live on this land for thousands of years, coming from the depth of history; our journey is one of struggles and challenges, but just like our mountains, we stand still, our will is unbroken. We are the people of the mountains.
The power that this land gives us, its ancient, sacral energy, flows through our veins, and this creative force is the root for the balance for it is with creation that we overcome destruction. We, the people, are the spirit of Armenia, and to feel the spirit of Armenia is to touch the hearts of its people, experience their openness and warm hospitality.
This is our Armenia, the way we see, feel and experience it every day, and we hope to share this Armenia with you.
