Thirteen kilometres from Tatev near the Wings of Tatev Aerial Tramway is this decidedly popular eco-lodge. Accommodation is in rustic cabins on the edge of the gorge offering epic views. The solar-powered showers with transparent roofs are a nice touch. Breakfast is simple and the on-site restaurant specialises in khoravats (barbecue meat skewers).
