If you love mountain river rafting, there are a couple of companies operating rafting in the Debed river, going right past Tumanyan! We have no ties to the rafting companies but we recommend you look some up and give them a try.

Hike through the stunning scenery of the Debed and Marts canyons, to gems like Kobayr, Horomayr, and Bardzrakash Monasteries, Odzun's 7th century church, Tsater Cliffside Chapel, Tumanyan's birth house-museum, Alaverdi or to Tsover Lake. Countless trails have been around for centuries, though few know about them other than locals.

Get the free app and take a free walking tour of Tumanyan (also web accessible), going on a fascinating journey of discovery based on many oral histories collected from people in the town by residents of Abastan. The first thing you may learn is that even though the name changed about 70 years ago, locals still use the original name of Dzaghidzor more often than not!

Coming soon! Thousands of books in English to borrow and read while you relax and rejuvenate in Tumanyan. Smaller international and Armenian collections as well.

Visit our office in the Tumanyan English Library to say hi. If you'd like to volunteer in Tumanyan on one of our projects, please send us a message and let us know about yourself.

Many species of bats eat a large number of insects each night, including mosquitoes. We plan to start production of bat houses for sale which you can install in your garden or community.
