About the experience

Join us for a silent retreat in one of Armenia’s most remote natural locations, Ashotsk, where panoramic views inspire awe and where you’ll experience the healing power of doing nothing. That’s right! On a Mountain Therapy experience, we’ll set you up in a beautiful corner of nature with comfortable seating, light snacks, local wine, and other drinks, and then let you tune into the sounds of nature – the rushing of a river, the rustling of leaves, the crackling of pinecones, the song of birds, and in the winter months the crunch of snow beneath your feet. We’ll be happy to share information and stories about local wildlife, but if you prefer to just sit back and connect with nature in silence, we’ll be more than happy to facilitate that for you. Choose an open field, a riverbed, or a mountain location, and your preferred time of day for this experience – either day, night, sunrise, or sunset – and leave the rest to us. If you're not sure what type of Mountain Therapy experience you want, we’ll build one for you after asking you a few questions during the confirmation process. You’ll come away from a Mountain Therapy retreat feeling recharged and one with nature.

Hosted by Tigran
Hi there! I’m Tigran, founder of North Adventures, an adventure tour operator based in Gyumri, Armenia’s second largest city. We’re a team of local people who share a passion for outdoor adventure in our native province of Shirak. We offer travelers kiteboarding, snowshoeing, snowboarding, and other outdoor activities all year round. The idea for this product came from our desire to share our own experiences in nature with others. I still remember the first time I stopped to really feel nature and all that goes on when humans aren’t around, or aren’t paying attention – like the sound of cracking ice on a frozen lake, or the burst of color in the early spring when marsh marigolds bloom in flowing water. We look forward to sharing all this and more with you!
