Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Lovely 350 year old bridge across the Kasagh River, now a peaceful picnic area. Highly recommend you check this out.

Jun 2015 • Solo

This is a delightful ancient bridge in the pleasant historical part of Ashtarak. Built in 1664 by Mahdesi Khoja Grigor, a wealthy merchant, the bridge has three arches of unequal size. The bridge crosses the Kasagh River. Today, the area underneath and immediately surrounding the bridge is a picnic area. I rode my bike over the bridge on a Sunday and the picnic area was alive with campfires, barbecuing, and festive people. Surprisingly, the area was not strewn with trash. There are a few old buildings at the base of the bridge. I was also surprised to find the bridge can still be driven over and a few cars tried to get across while I was there. They slipped a bit on the ancient rocks, but made it eventually. I'd recommend a high-clearance vehicle to drive across. The bridge is beautiful and it fits the surroundings perfectly. The area along the Kasagh River in Ashtarak is a small oasis in Armenia. I highly recommend you take a weekend afternoon and come see this place, the bridge, and the many small churches along the gorge.

Beautiful remnant

Lovely ancient bridge, which is easily overlooked. You have to descend deep down from the village over a horrible road (the last few 100m's) but once there it feels like an oasis. Definitely worth th 10 min detour!
