Stepanakert (Armenian:ՍտեփանակերտStepanakert) or Khankendi (Azerbaijani: Xankəndi), originally called Vararakn (Armenian:Վարարակն), is the capital and the largest city of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, a de facto independent republic. According to the 2005 official census, the population of Stepanakert is 49,986.
History
Founding and Soviet era
According to medieval Armenian sources, the settlement was first mentioned as Vararakn (Վարարակն, meaning "rapid spring" in Armenian), a name that remained in use until 1847, when it was renamed Khankendi. Azerbaijani sources generally say that the settlement was founded in the late eighteenth century by a Karabakh khan, and was thus called Khankendi (Turkic for "the khan's village").
In 1923 Khankendi was renamed Stepanakert by the Soviet government to honor Stepan Shahumyan, ethnic Armenian leader of the 26 Baku Commissars, and, after the Shusha pogrom had resulted in major destruction at Shusha, the former regional capital, Stepanakert was made the capital of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast (NKAO). In time, Stepanakert grew to become the region's most important city (a status it received in 1940). Its population rose from 10,459 in 1939 to 33,000 in 1978.

The Best Artsakh Food And Wine Tour! Nagorno Karabakh and The Republic of Artsakh!
The sixth day of my Armenia and Artsakh trip took me deeper into Artsakh, where I explored the food and wine scene in the capital, Stepanakert, and donned a fire helmet at a bar in a local’s garage! Come along with me on my wild and awesome adventure in Artsakh!

Artsakh Travel: https://www.instagram.com/artsakhtravelofficial/
My adventure began with my guide, Lusine, in the heart of Stepanakert, the educational, administrative, and cultural center of Artsakh.
We headed to the Old Town, where we saw typical Artsakh-style houses and buildings along Tumanyan Street. They’re all old, stone buildings. It’s one of the main streets in Stepanakert and has been revived. They have their...

On the morning of my seventh day in Armenia, my guide Lusine and I headed out on an extreme flight to see the Republic of Artsakh from the air and went on a hike to the beautiful Umbrella Waterfall! Come along with us as I continue exploring the Republic of Artsakh!

Artsakh Travel: https://www.instagram.com/artsakhtravelofficial/
We began our day at the We Are Our Mountains Monument in Stepanakert. I actually didn’t know what we’d be doing today. Lusine said it was a surprise! After the surprise, we’d hike through one of the deepest gorges in Artsakh to Umbrella Waterfall!
The We Are Our Mountains Monument is the symbol of Artsakh. It’s a representation of the heads of a grandmother and grandfather. The rest of their bodies is in the rocks, which symbolize that the roots of the Artsakh people are in the land. The monument is about 30 feet high and is made from tuff, a volcanic rock that comes in roughly 40 shades.
Then, we visited a souvenir shop so I could buy a new hat. After trying several that didn’t fit, I found one for 10,000 dram/$20.89 USD for it. Then, we arrived at an airport for my surprise!
I was pumped and nervous at the same time, but the flight was incredible! It was super extreme, though! We flew over Stepanakert, a small town, and through Hunot Gorge before wheeling around the airport and touching down again.
Then, we headed to Zontik Waterfall (Umbrella Waterfall) at the end of Hunot Gorge.
After arriving, I enjoyed a quick snack of bread and sausage ahead of our 30-minute hike. We followed a natural trail, from which I could see the 18th-century Shushi Fortress just past the lip of the gorge.
Walking through the gorge was so beautiful and peaceful. I listened to the sounds of the Karkar River and the birds as I walked. As we walked, Lusine told me about an 18th-century village that milled and produced flour and transported it up to Shushi.
We passed over an 18th-century bridge that connects the two sides of the gorge, and I could see the ruins of the old town as well.
We stopped at a picnic area in a meadow near the bridge where there was a local man making some traditional tea. I tried his incredible tea with some traditional walnut compote. I was told it was like a Korean walnut and the sauce was like honey and caramel. It was so sweet that I couldn’t believe it was a walnut! There were also blackberry preserves.
I learned that about 130 people lived in the village here in the gorge. It was a strategically important place, as they would send their flour up to Shushi. I could see lots of ruined houses as we continued our hike. It was a tough hike, but the air was super fresh. We continued across a bridge and finally arrived at the Umbrella Waterfall! It was slippery, so I had to keep my feet on the dry rocks.
The Umbrella Waterfall is amazing. It’s the most famous waterfall in Artsakh, and it’s covered in moss. You can go inside the cave and take a shower. It’s a great place to chill. I went inside and stuck my head under the flowing water. It was so refreshing! What an amazing morning!
Special thanks to my friends at Armenia Travel for their kindness, hospitality, and for arranging my trip. I couldn’t have done it without them! Huge thanks to everyone at Artsakh Travel as well for making this part of my trip super fun and smooth!
Also, if you would like to visit Stepanakert and the Umbrella Waterfall, please contact Lusine. I hope you enjoyed coming along on my extreme flight and visit to Umbrella Waterfall in Stepanakert, Artsakh! If you did, please give this video a thumbs up and leave a comment below.

The sixth day of my Armenia and Artsakh trip took me deeper into Artsakh, where I explored the food and wine scene in the capital, Stepanakert, and donned a fire helmet at a bar in a local’s garage! Come along with me on my wild and awesome adventure in Artsakh!

My adventure began with my guide, Lusine, in the heart of Stepanakert, the educational, administrative, and cultural center of Artsakh.
We headed to the Old Town, where we saw typical Artsakh-style houses and buildings along Tumanyan Street. They’re all old, stone buildings. It’s one of the main streets in Stepanakert and has been revived. They have their own local style that’s different from Armenia.
We also passed by a café, a wine pub, and a bunch of firewood as we continued. There were new and old buildings, hotels, cafés, and more.As we walked, we built up an appetite, so Lusine took me to one of the city’s best restaurants, Florence Garden.
There, we started with one of Artsakh’s best wines, Kataro. It’s a popular, dry red wine. They export throughout the US, Canada, and Europe. It was the best wine I had tried on this trip so far. I wanted to take a bottle of it home!
I loved the atmosphere of the restaurant. It’s open-air but you don’t even realize it. The wine was so delicious and special! Then, it was time to eat. We had salad, cheese, bread, beef, lamb, veal, and more. There was a cheese mixed with peppers and topped with pesto. It was super creamy and the peppers gave it a nice crunch. It was super delicious!
Next were two veal dishes and lamb. The veal looked phenomenal. One of them contained basmati rice while the other had fried flatbread in it. The lamb was slathered in an amazing red bean sauce. It was so good I had to dig in with my hands! The veal and flatbread dish was so nice! It was super tender and had a tomato-based sauce. It was almost like nachos! The second veal dish was also super tender!
Then, we had some grape leaf dolmas, which had more meat than rice. I followed that with a cheese that was hard on the outside, like Manchego, but soft on the inside like mozzarella. It was salty, too! There was also a delicious eggplant hummus that I couldn’t get enough of!
Then, we headed off to Bardak Pub, whose name translates to “Messed-Up!” It’s mostly for young people. It has a nice terrace outside, a funky bus that will serve as a hostel for tourists. The bar was really cool! The pub was the owner’s father’s garage. They placed all their alcohol out and now it’s a bar. I liked the chill vibes and atmosphere!
We started with some shots and then moved on to something a little crazier. You put on a helmet, and then the bartender puts a handkerchief on top and lights it on fire. You have until the fire goes out to down all the cocktails, and after each one, the bartender hit you in the head with a bat! I did it four times! I definitely felt it afterward!
The bathroom in the pub is tagged with people’s names, so I tagged it with mine!
What an insane night of Artsakh food and wine in Stepanakert!

On the morning of my seventh day in Armenia, my guide Lusine and I headed out on an extreme flight to see the Republic of Artsakh from the air and went on a hike to the beautiful Umbrella Waterfall! Come along with us as I continue exploring the Republic of Artsakh!
Lusine: https://www.instagram.com/guin_dalera
Armenia Travel: https://www.instagram.com/armeniatravelofficial
Artsakh Travel: https://www.instagram.com/artsakhtravelofficial/
We began our day at the We Are Our Mountains Monument in Stepanakert. I actually didn’t know what we’d be doing today. Lusine said it was a surprise! After the surprise, we’d hike through one of the deepest gorges in Artsakh to Umbrella Waterfall!
The We Are Our Mountains Monument is the symbol of Artsakh. It’s a representation of the heads of a grandmother and grandfather. The rest of their bodies is in the rocks, which symbolize that the roots of the Artsakh people are in the land. The monument is about 30 feet high and is made from tuff, a volcanic rock that comes in roughly 40 shades.
Then, we visited a souvenir shop so I could buy a new hat. After trying several that didn’t fit, I found one for 10,000 dram/$20.89 USD for it. Then, we arrived at an airport for my surprise!
I was pumped and nervous at the same time, but the flight was incredible! It was super extreme, though! We flew over Stepanakert, a small town, and through Hunot Gorge before wheeling around the airport and touching down again.
Then, we headed to Zontik Waterfall (Umbrella Waterfall) at the end of Hunot Gorge.
After arriving, I enjoyed a quick snack of bread and sausage ahead of our 30-minute hike. We followed a natural trail, from which I could see the 18th-century Shushi Fortress just past the lip of the gorge.
Walking through the gorge was so beautiful and peaceful. I listened to the sounds of the Karkar River and the birds as I walked. As we walked, Lusine told me about an 18th-century village that milled and produced flour and transported it up to Shushi.
We passed over an 18th-century bridge that connects the two sides of the gorge, and I could see the ruins of the old town as well.
We stopped at a picnic area in a meadow near the bridge where there was a local man making some traditional tea. I tried his incredible tea with some traditional walnut compote. I was told it was like a Korean walnut and the sauce was like honey and caramel. It was so sweet that I couldn’t believe it was a walnut! There were also blackberry preserves.
I learned that about 130 people lived in the village here in the gorge. It was a strategically important place, as they would send their flour up to Shushi. I could see lots of ruined houses as we continued our hike. It was a tough hike, but the air was super fresh. We continued across a bridge and finally arrived at the Umbrella Waterfall! It was slippery, so I had to keep my feet on the dry rocks.
The Umbrella Waterfall is amazing. It’s the most famous waterfall in Artsakh, and it’s covered in moss. You can go inside the cave and take a shower. It’s a great place to chill. I went inside and stuck my head under the flowing water. It was so refreshing! What an amazing morning!
Special thanks to my friends at Armenia Travel for their kindness, hospitality, and for arranging my trip. I couldn’t have done it without them! Huge thanks to everyone at Artsakh Travel as well for making this part of my trip super fun and smooth!
Also, if you would like to visit Stepanakert and the Umbrella Waterfall, please contact Lusine. I hope you enjoyed coming along on my extreme flight and visit to Umbrella Waterfall in Stepanakert, Artsakh! If you did, please give this video a thumbs up and leave a comment below.

The streets of Stepanakert, known as Khankendi in Azerbaijani, are empty after tens of thousands of ethnic Armenians left the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh enclave following a military operation by Baku. The images were taken from a press tour convoy, organised by Azerbaijani officials, which passed through the city outskirts.

The sixth day of my Armenia and Artsakh trip took me deeper into Artsakh, where I explored the food and wine scene in the capital, Stepanakert, and donned a fire helmet at a bar in a local’s garage! Come along with me on my wild and awesome adventure in Artsakh!

Then, we headed off to Bardak Pub, whose name translates to “Messed-Up!” It’s mostly for young people. It has a nice terrace outside, a funky bus that will serve as a hostel for tourists.

According to medieval Armenian sources, the settlement was first mentioned as Vararakn (Վարարակն, meaning "rapid spring" in Armenian), a name that remained in use until 1847, when it was renamed Khankendi. Azerbaijani sources generally say that the settlement was founded in the late eighteenth century by a Karabakh khan, and was thus called Khankendi (Turkic for "the khan's village").
In 1923 Khankendi was renamed Stepanakert by the Soviet government to honor Stepan Shahumyan, ethnic Armenian leader of the 26 Baku Commissars, and, after the Shusha pogrom had resulted in major destruction at Shusha, the former regional capital, Stepanakert was made the capital of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast (NKAO). In time, Stepanakert grew to become the region's most important city (a status it received in 1940). Its population rose from 10,459 in 1939 to 33,000 in 1978.
