The Garni Gorge is situated 23 km east of Yerevan, Armenia, just below the village with the same name, and is carved out by where the Goght river runs through. On a promontory above the gorge the 1st century AD Garni temple can be seen. Along the side of the gorge are cliff walls of well preserved basalt columns.
Much like the Giant’s Causeway, the Garny Gorge is made out of a high number of basalt columns. It’s an absolute must-see if you find yourself in Armenia. It’s a wonderful canyon shaped by the ever-flowing river Goght river. Atop the basalt walls of the gorge the famous 1st century Garni temple can be seen. Garni Gorge offers its visitors an incredible view and makes them feel like they’re in a fantasy place.
