Highlights

Tsakhkadzor - Tsaghkadzor, translated, means ‘’Gorge of flowers’’ and it truly deserves the name because during spring, Tsaghkadzor is covered with lush, green forests and flowers and the views are just mesmerizing. The Tsaghkunyats Mountains surround the cozy town.
Kecharis Monastery - Located in the northern part of town, the unique church was erected at the beginning of the 11th-century and is considered one of the historical gems of Tsaghkadzor.
It is a well-kept facility surrounded by beautiful mountains and ancient cross-stones (khachkars). Kecharis Monastery is a great place to get in touch with the history of Tsaghkadzor. There are two churches in the complex- the St. Gregory the Illuminator is the first one. And next to it is St. Nshan Church, dating back to the first half of the 11th-century.
In front of Kecharis Monastery, you can see a little hidden, 13th-century church called Holy Resurrection. It is surrounded by trees.
Lake Sevan - The fascination and the pearl of mountainous Armenia is Sevan Lake, which is one of the world’s greatest high altitude fresh-water lakes. It is about 1900 m above sea level. The lake is of volcanic origin and is surrounded with mountains of 3000 m and higer. The beautiful landscape and the crystal water serve nice preconditions for excellent rest.The lake is also famous for its peninsula and medieval church complex built in 874.
Monastery Sevanavank - A marvelous scene opens in the north-western part of Sevan Lake, where the peninsula towers over the transparent surface of the lake. Sevanavank monastery was built on the peninsula in 874 by the order of king Ashot Bagratuni’s daughter princess Mariam. The silhouette of the churches against the background of the turquoise lake and blue sky casts unexplainable impression on the visitors.
