A ride on Wings of Tatev cable car in Syunik Province of Armenia is among the 10 favorite adventures of 2021, according to Forbes.

Ann Abel, a senior contributor of Forbes-Travel, has shared her impressions from the trip to Armenia.

“My host during a culinary exploration of Armenia liked to throw out comparisons to both James Bond and Indiana Jones. The country especially lived up to those pronouncements during a ride on Wings of Tatev – a five-kilometer journey on the longest double-track cable car in the world, at some points suspended some 1,000 feet above the ground,” she wrote.

“Afterward, the trip back to the capital of Yerevan was in an Airbus H130 flown by Armenian Helicopters, zooming (the good kind) over the mountains of the Syunik Province as the sun was setting,” Abel noted.

Wings of Tatev was recognized as the winner of the 28th World Travel Awards in the World's Leading Cable Car Ride 2021 category earlier in December.
