This 3-day journey brings together some of the most remarkable sights of Armenia, passing through several regions and revealing a rich mix of nature, history and medieval architecture. The route first leads through the scenic roads of Aragatsotn towards the green landscapes of Lori, where Haghpat, Sanahin and Akhtala welcome visitors with centuries-old heritage, impressive stonework and a special northern charm. The first overnight stay is planned in Dilijan, Tavush region, surrounded by dense forests and calm mountain scenery.

On the second day, the tour continues through Dilijan and its surroundings, where Haghartsin and Goshavank appear among wooded hills, combining refined medieval architecture with the peaceful beauty of nature. The route then leads to the pearl of Armenia – Lake Sevan, with Sevanavank rising proudly on its peninsula and opening wide views over the blue waters. Passing through Selim Pass, you will reach Jermuk in Vayots Dzor region, where the next overnight stay is foreseen.

In the resort town of Jermuk, guests can enjoy fresh mountain air, taste mineral water of different temperatures and relax by the sound of Jermuk Waterfall. The journey then continues to Syunik region, where one of the main highlights is a ride on the famous Wings of Tatev Ropeway, connecting Halidzor village with Tatev – a monastery once known as an important spiritual, scientific and political center, dramatically surrounded by the Vorotan gorge.

On the way back to Yerevan, the route includes a stop at Noravank, one of Armenia's most striking medieval monuments, set against brick-red cliffs that make the final part of the tour especially memorable.

Day 3

Haghpat Monastery, Sanahin Monastery, Akhtala Fortress, Dilijan

1. Haghpat Monastery

50-60 min Details: Haghpat Monastery

To the northeast of Sanahin, cradled by the lofty peaks of Lori, stretches the monastery of Haghpat – a masterpiece of Armenian medieval art, where stone speaks the language of centuries. Founded in the 10th century under King Ashot III of the Bagratuni dynasty, it rose at a time when Armenia blossomed in culture and spirit. The weathered walls of Haghpat still carry the resonance of that golden age, bearing silent witness to the passage of time.

2. Sanahin Monastery

40-50 min Details: Sanahin Monastery

Not far from Haghpat, in the heart of the Lori region, rises Sanahin Monastery – a true marvel of Armenia's medieval architecture. Its construction began in the second half of the 10th century, during the reign of King Ashot III and from the very beginning the complex was conceived as both a spiritual and educational center.

3. Akhtala Fortress

40-50 min Details: Akhtala Fortress

Akhtala Fortress, like a timeless stone sentinel, rises proudly on a high plateau in the picturesque Lori region, resembling a peninsula embraced on three sides by deep gorges. As early as the 10th century, builders fused nature's raw power with human craft: sheer cliffs were reinforced with tall defensive walls and the entrances were guarded by imposing three-tiered towers. For centuries, these walls withstood invasions and preserved within their silence the breath of history.

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.

Overnight stay

Book a hotel in Dilijan, if necessary

Haghartsin Monastery, Goshavank Monastery, Lake Sevan, Sevanavank Monastery, Jermuk

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Jermuk

Details: Jermuk

In the northeastern part of Vayots Dzor, cradled by mountain ridges and thick forests, lies Jermuk, a resort town whose name has long been synonymous with well-being and serenity. Here, in the hush of the highlands, springs emerge – each with its own taste and character, ranging from crystal-clear fresh water to mineral-rich flows that for centuries have been used to heal and restore strength.

Overnight stay

Book a hotel in Jermuk, if necessary

Jermuk, Jermuk Waterfall, Wings of Tatev Ropeway, Tatev Monastery, Noravank Monastery, return to Yerevan

1. Jermuk

50-60 min Details: Jermuk

2. Jermuk Waterfall

20-30 min Details: Jermuk Waterfall

In the spa town of Jermuk, nestled in the picturesque valley of Vayots Dzor, one of Armenia's most enchanting waterfalls plunges into the gorge with sparkling streams. From a height of 68 meters it cascades in foamy whiteness, filling the air with mist and thunder, turning the landscape into a living symphony of water, rock and light.

3. Wings of Tatev Ropeway

10-15 min Details: Wings of Tatev Ropeway

On October 16, 2010, the solemn toll of bells echoed across the Tatev Valley, announcing not only the revival of the medieval monastery complex but also the inauguration of an extraordinary feat of engineering – the "Wings of Tatev" cableway. Stretching 5.7 km, this aerial link connects the village of Halidzor with the ancient monastery and holds the Guinness World Record as the longest reversible cableway on the planet.

4. Tatev Monastery

50-60 min Details: Tatev Monastery

Amid the rugged ridges of Zangezur, high above deep gorges and winding mountain roads, rises the Tatev Monastery – an unrivaled masterpiece of medieval Armenian architecture. Founded in the 9th century on the site of an ancient pagan sanctuary, it became both the spiritual and political heart of the Syunik principality. Perched on the very edge of a cliff, its stone walls merge seamlessly with the mountain massif, while its strategic position made it nearly unreachable for enemies.

5. Noravank Monastery

50-60 min Details: Noravank Monastery

In the very heart of Vayots Dzor, embraced by crimson cliffs that rise like nature's own fortress walls, lies Noravank, an ancient monastery that for centuries stood as a beacon of Armenia's spiritual and cultural life. Its walls overlook the picturesque gorge of the Arpa River, where the silence is broken only by the echo of pilgrims' footsteps and the cry of soaring eagles. This gorge is known as the Amaghu River Valley, a natural monument considered a candidate for inclusion on Armenia's UNESCO World Heritage list.

We went on a three-day trip through northern Armenia, with overnight stays in Dilijan and Gyumri. The places were beautiful, and the monasteries of Haghartsin, Akhtala, and Harichavank left a huge impression on us. The itinerary doesn’t take up a full day, so we had free time to explore the two cities on our own and walk in the forest in Dilijan. Special thanks to our driver, Vagran. He was very attentive and never rushed us. He made several extra stops along the way so we could take photos of the beautiful scenery. This wasn’t my first trip with Yur Servis (we’d been on group tours before), and once again, I’m very happy with the experience. Thank you!

Many thanks to our guide Armine Dzhulakyan and driver Spartak for accompanying our group for ten days.
The excursions were interesting, full of activities, and informative. All the places we were lucky enough to visit came alive with vivid colors and deeper meaning thanks to Armine’s stories. She is undoubtedly a knowledgeable person who loves the history and culture of her homeland.
The driver expertly took us through all the hairpin bends and mountain passes, staying calm and friendly in every situation and always ready to help.
I’ll definitely recommend a trip to Armenia to my friends and acquaintances. I’m left with the brightest impressions and warmest memories.
