At 1,900–2,800 m the sun is stronger — bring SPF 30+, sunglasses and a brimmed hat to avoid sunburn and glare.

Monasteries and viewpoints involve uneven flagstones and steps; closed-toe shoes with grip make the short hikes safer.
Carry small change
Some entrances and local vendors accept only cash; keep small AMD notes for snacks, tips and minor fees.
Respect monastery etiquette
Dress modestly (shoulders and knees covered) and speak quietly in active religious areas to honor local practices.
