💦 Vardavar — Armenia’s Wettest and Wildest Celebration!

No one stays dry during Vardavar, the joyful water festival that drenches the entire country in laughter and tradition! Rooted in ancient pagan rituals and now tied to the Feast of the Transfiguration, Vardavar is when everyone becomes a target — and a participant.

From kids with buckets to grannies with garden hoses, Armenians take to the streets to splash, soak, and celebrate life under the summer sun. 🌞💧

Whether you get wet or just watch with a smile, it’s an unforgettable experience that connects generations through pure, playful joy.

📸 Join us next year and dive into Armenia — one splash at a time!

🔥 From Mount Fuji to the Armenian highlands — our Japanese guest bravely took on the tonir oven… and came out with baked glory (or at least a slightly uneven but heartfelt loaf)!

It wasn’t lavash this time — but another traditional bread baked the Armenian way. Because real travel is about flour on your hands and stories in your smile.
