Khndzoresk is one of the most visited places in Armenia. At the beginning of the 20th century, about eight thousand people lived in the caves of Khndzoresk. In the 1950s, the authorities of USSR decided that Soviet citizens should not huddle in the dark cold pits and resettled them.
The new village of Khndzoresk was not so much different from other villages in Armenia, but the old settlement, the cave city, still keeps many unsolved secrets.
Today, the village is very popular touristic attraction. You can be offered guided tours and other experiences at the caves of Khndzoresk, located in the southern region of Syunik, about 20 minutes from the city of Goris.
