Description

Begin your journey with a visit to Lake Sevan, one of the world’s largest high-altitude freshwater lakes. Surrounded by soft mountains and open skies, it offers breathtaking panoramas in every season. Explore the historic Sevanavank Monastery, enjoy fresh local cuisine, or simply relax by the bright turquoise waters. Next, head to Haghartsin Monastery, nestled deep within the lush, green landscapes of Dilijan National Park. Dating back to the 10th–13th centuries, the complex features beautifully restored churches, intricately carved stonework, and a peaceful atmosphere that blends harmoniously with nature. Continue to Goshavank Monastery, located in the heart of Tavush’s forested landscapes. Built in the 12th–13th centuries by the scholar Mkhitar Gosh, the monastery once housed a famous school and scriptorium where important manuscripts were created. Admire its elegant churches, finely carved khachkars—including the renowned “Gosh” cross-stone—and peaceful courtyard framed by mountains. Finally, visit the Ijevan Wine & Brandy Factory, one of Armenia’s most beloved producers of wine, brandy, and fruit-infused spirits. Explore the production halls, learn about the aging process, and enjoy guided tastings of elegant wines, aromatic brandies, and famous fruit wines made from local berries and fruits.
