Trchkan Waterfall is located near the village of Shirakamut on the Chichkhan River and is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Armenia. The waterfall is over 23 meters high and is one of the country’s main natural attractions. In winter, Trchkan freezes and becomes even more stunning — at this time of year, nature lovers come to enjoy the beauty of the icy waterfall.
The trail to the waterfall is easy and suitable for anyone who enjoys hiking.
After the hike, we will head to the cultural city of Gyumri, known for its rich history, beautiful streets, and unique local charm. We will walk around the city, admire the architecture, and experience the hospitality and lively atmosphere that make Gyumri so special.
