From the shores of Lake Sevan to the forested landscapes of Tavush, this full-day tour from Yerevan combines panoramic views, medieval monastic heritage and some of northern Armenia's most scenic destinations. Over 9-10 hours, the route takes you from the open waters of Sevan to the green hills of Dilijan and Tavush.

The day begins at Lake Sevan, one of the largest high-altitude freshwater lakes in Eurasia, followed by a visit to Sevanavank Monastery on the Sevan Peninsula, which offers sweeping views over the lake. The tour then continues to Dilijan, often referred to as the "Armenian Switzerland", for a short stop and an optional lunch break. The final visits are to Goshavank and Haghartsin, two remarkable medieval monastery complexes set among the wooded hills of Tavush.

Itinerary

Lake Sevan, Sevanavank Monastery, Dilijan (short stop), Lunch stop, Goshavank Monastery, Haghartsin Monastery

1. Meeting point: Hyur Service (Head Office) – 96, Nalbandyan str., Yerevan

Departure time: 10:00

If hotel pick-up is not required, please let us know and be at the meeting point at least 30 min before departure.

2. Lake Sevan

Details: Lake Sevan

High in the embrace of Armenia's mountains lies Lake Sevan – the blue heart of the land, beating in harmony with the winds and the sun. Legend tells that once a green valley stretched here, until the heavens shed their tears, filling it with shimmering water as a priceless gift to humankind.

3. Sevanavank Monastery

50-60 min Details: Sevanavank Monastery

From the northwestern shore of Lake Sevan, a breathtaking panorama unfolds: a peninsula rises from the shimmering surface, crowned with ancient temples. Here, in 874, at the command of Queen Mariam, daughter of King Ashot Bagratuni, the Sevanavank Monastery was built – the spiritual guardian of Armenia's blue jewel.

4. Dilijan

20-30 min Details: Dilijan

Dilijan is a corner of Armenia where nature and silence weave a harmony that captivates every traveler. Nestled among emerald forests and gentle hills, the town stretches along the scenic valley of the Aghstev River, where the air carries the scent of pine and the freshness of mountain streams. The national park's unique pearls are two beautiful sights hidden in the forests: Lakes Parz and Gosh, surrounded by shrubs and trees that have inspired numerous folk tales and shelter the quiet life of wild animals.

Lunch stop

50-60 min

Optional lunch in the local traditional restaurant on own expense. One may choose between 3 different options:
Option 1 (vegeterian) – 11 USD per person
Option 2 – 13 USD per person
Option 3 – 14 USD per person

5. Goshavank Monastery

40-50 min Details: Goshavank Monastery

Amid the gentle green hills of Tavush, where only the whisper of the wind and the song of birds disturb the stillness, stands Goshavank Monastery – a sanctuary where spiritual devotion and the cultural grandeur of medieval Armenia intertwine. Its origins are inseparably linked to Mkhitar Gosh, the renowned statesman, scholar and author of Armenia's first codified law, as well as timeless fables and parables whose wisdom still resonates today.

6. Haghartsin Monastery

60-70 min Details: Haghartsin Monastery

Hidden deep within the leafy forests of Tavush, Haghartsin Monastery seems as though it has stepped straight out of an ancient manuscript, where stone walls and nature blend into a single, harmonious whole. Founded between the 10th and 13th centuries, it stood for centuries as both a spiritual refuge and a cultural beacon, drawing monks, pilgrims and master craftsmen. The complex includes the churches of St. Gregory, St. Mary and St. Stephen, along with monastic cells and service buildings carefully woven into the mountainous landscape.

Our tour to Lake Sevan with Karen was an absolute dream! Of course, the sites leave you breathless--there are no words to describe the beauty of Armenia, both natural and architectural. Karen is a wonderful guide, with a few surprises up his sleeve--I will just say that he is a very talented young man, beyond being well-versed in history. Thank you for this unforgettable experience!
