A ladder leads from the chapel to the dungeon below. Don't be afraid of heights :)

Hiking
The descent is tight and when we visited it was very crowded and there was a lot of rush, which reduces the fun factor.

Khor Virap's notability as a monastery and pilgrimage site is attributed to the fact that Gregory the Illuminator was initially imprisoned here for 13 years by King Tiridates III of Armenia.
