Lake Parz, lying at 1334 meters above sea level in the Dilijan National Park, is like a precious mirror of nature reflecting the sky and the dense Tavush forests. Formed by natural climatic changes, it has since become one of the most beloved spots for relaxation among both travelers and locals. The shores are covered with rare plants and in spring and summer the air fills with the fragrance of flowers and the songs of forest birds. Walking along the trails around Parz feels like a small journey where every step reveals new views.

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.

Dear Sirs,

We just came back from our trip to Armenia and would like to say a big thank you for your excellent organisation and communication skills.
The biggest thank you though goes to our driver Alexander who went above and beyond to make our 2 excursions memorable.
He was a great careful driver, a very compassionate caring man and tried his best to make us happy. I will definitely recommend him and your company to our friends and relatives.
Thank you again.

For the second time we rented a house through Hyur service and we are very happy and satisfied by their wonderful service.
We had a private trip to Lake Sevan and Tilijan
We were 12, our van was very clean and comfortable. Our driver Mayis was very kind with us, he is an amazing person!!! We all give him 5+ *****. We enjoyed every moment of our trip.
I highly recommend the Hyur service for all your needs during your stay in Armenia.
