Next stop will be at Khndzoresk cave-village, famous for its antique cave dwellings, which were used up to 1950s. From ancient times, people lived in these rocky hills, constructing artificial shelters and places for food storage. The village had 3000 houses and the population of 15000 people. Most of the houses in the village are dug into the rock. You can also walk on the Swinging bridge, which will leave you with incredible memories.
