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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

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. Lake Parz

Lake Parz, located at an altitude of 1334 meters above sea level in the picturesque Dilijan National Park, is one of the most enchanting corners of the Tavush region. Formed as a result of natural climatic processes, today it captivates with its harmony with the surrounding nature. The calm surface of the water mirrors the dense forests and drifting clouds, creating an atmosphere of peace and serenity.

I have been a tour guide since 2015. To this day, every excursion is a great source of positive energy for me. During the tours, you will not only get acquainted with the sights, the country's history, and its architectural features, but also feel the full charm of the Armenian emotional mindset and lifestyle.

Education – musical-pedagogical and cultural studies. I have worked in the fields of tourism, education, and culture in Russia and Armenia. Currently, I work as a guide at the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute and in the company "Hyur Service". As a person with a humanities education and a cultural studies mindset, I strive to present my homeland as comprehensively as possible so that visitors gain a general impression of the history and art of the Armenian people. I pay special attention to mental and cultural characteristics to make every visitor's stay in Armenia comfortable and positive. I continue to study and share new knowledge.

My name is Anahit Ghazaryan, and since 2015 I have been in a state of love! I am in love with Armenia, and I always want to talk about it! Come visit! I guarantee it will be beautiful, easy, delicious, and fun! Let's discover Armenia together, enjoy it, and fall in love! I don't like legends and tell them only when absolutely necessary, and only those that feature real historical figures! Since I was born in the middle of the last century, I talk about some events not as a historian, but as a witness!

A Perfect Excursion to Dilijan, Sevan, Goshavank and Haghartsin
This excursion was perfect. Visiting Dilijan, Lake Sevan, Goshavank and Haghartsin in one day was wonderfully well organized, offering an ideal balance of nature, culture, history. Each stop was stunning, from the peaceful views of Lake Sevan to the green landscapes of Dilijan and the magical atmosphere of the ancient monasteries.
Special mention goes to our guide, Edward, who was truly exceptional. His deep knowledge of Armenian history, culture and traditions made every place we visited come alive. He shared engaging stories, historical details and local insights with great clarity and enthusiasm, always happy to answer questions and adapt the pace of the tour to the group. His professionalism, friendliness and genuine passion for his country made the experience even more enjoyable.
Equally deserving of praise is our driver, who was extremely skilled, careful and professional throughout the entire journey. The driving was smooth and safe at all times, even on winding mountain roads, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the scenery. The vehicle was comfortable and clean, which contributed greatly to the overall quality of the excursion.
Thanks to the excellent organization, an outstanding guide like Edward and a highly reliable driver, this tour turned out to be an unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Armenia and looking for a perfectly run and enriching day trip.

Отличный тур на озеро Севан и в Дилижан, оправдывает все ожидания. Организация на высшем уровне, все по времени чётко, гид Давид просто супер, рассказывает очень интересно, в меру, очень эмоционально. Обед организован отличный, стол накрыть как на целую свадьбу, 2 вида салатов, сыры, лепёшки, много зелени, очень вкусное второе. Цена обеда 3900-4500 в зависимохсти от того что выберешь. Отдельно можно домашнее вино и коньяк заказать.
Спасибо большое тур агентству, девочки менеджеры тоже отлично работают, все подробно рассказали.
