But there is a festival  which is held in Artsakh and it cannot be compared with any other in the world.

All districts of Artsakh presented their version of bread or flat cakes with greens, so-called "Zhngyalov hats".

What is it?

All the greenery that grows on the territory of Artsakh is collected, finely chopped, a small amount of vegetable oil and spices are added there too, and all this is baked in a thin dough on the heat pan. It turns out matchless pies with greenery in the dough. And how many vitamins! You  cannot count! The mountain air itself is felt when you taste this delicious dish!

"Bread with greens" or "Zhangialov hats" has its own history and roots in the nineteenth century.

The first written references to it were found in Artsakh. And now, from generation to generation, the inhabitants of these places have perfected the recipe for cooking this dish, and today Zhngyalov hats can be considered one of the visiting cards of the country.

Before you fly, the instructor will hold a short briefing during which you will learn what to do and what not to do.  Everything is very simple and your main duty is to enjoy the flight.

After take-off, using the hot ascending air currents, the paraglide will gain altitude and soon 2000 meters of height, a view of the mountain relief from a bird's eye will be under you and you will smell the fresh air. Yes, it is the smell, because the air at the top takes on a completely different "taste."
