VILLAGE FESTIVAL ONLY THE LOCALS KNOW ABOUT // ARMENIA TRAVE…
Today we got back on the road and drove 2.5 hours to the small rural village of Khachik for the Gata Festival! A local told us about this festival when we first got to Armenia, and we knew we had to check it out but had no idea what to expect! It turned out to be an incredible afternoon where we met new people, tried new foods, and did our best to learn the steps to some traditional Armenian dances. With no other foreigners in sight, we felt like we were getting to see local Armenian life at its best. We had SO MUCH FUN getting to know this wonderful country though the Gata Festival celebrations. To top it off, the views of the countryside on the way to and from the festival were stunning.
Check out this vlog if you want to see a side of Armenia that not many visitors get to see. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
