The price covers private transportation in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle, Hotel pick-up and drop-off in Yerevan, Professional guide services by a certified mountain rescuer and Freshly brewed traditional mountain coffee during the hike. It does not cover entrance fee to Garni Temple (approx. 1,500 AMD per person), Entrance fee to Symphony of Stones (approx. 300 AMD per person) and Entrance fee for Khosrov Forest State Reserve (approx. 4,000 AMD per person), so budget for those separately.
