Highlights
  • Yerevan - Your driver will meet you at a location convenient to you in Yerevan.
  • Monastery Sevanavank - First of all, you will stop at the picturesque Lake Sevan with its crystal clear water and stunning historic peninsula which is home of medieval monastery Sevanavank. Nicknamed the ‘Blue Pearl’ this magnificent lake is the jewel of Armenia. The Wonderful Lake that surrounds the peninsula of Sevan and Sevanavank is one of the most beautiful places in Europe.
  • Dilijan National Park - Driving about 90 kilometres to the northeast of Armenia’s vibrant capital city of Yerevan, the highway narrows into mountainous roads as you enter the Tavush region. Your second stop is the old charming town Dilijan. The unseasonably hot and humid summer has vacationers flocking to “Armenia’s Switzerland” from across Armenia and bordering Georgia, Russia and Iran, as well as from various parts of Europe. They come seeking what affluent folks of Transcaucasia sought when they built their summer villas here – the crisp, alpine mountain air of unspoiled forests, preserved national park and lakes and to bask in the natural healing springs. In fact, Dilijan mineral water is bottled and marketed throughout the country.
  • Haghartsin Monastery - Step back in time to explore the beautiful medieval church and khachkars of Haghartsin
  • Lake Parz - Then continue the tour through forests to incredible lake Parz to take panoramic photos of the gorgeous landscape at a height of 1,400 metres above sea level.

Dilijan is the best sunset spot in Tavush region and a perfect place to finish the tour before heading back to Yerevan.

Falling in love with Armenian landscape - This is an outstanding tour organized by a professional tourism agency in Yerevan (Ayrarat Tour). Everything was above expectation. The tour guide Mr. Grigor is an encyclopedia when it comes to history. The information he provided was amazing and interesting. Visiting all these historical sights in one day was unbelievable. From Dilijan (little Switzerland) to lake Seven and the delicious lunch at the lake area was like a dream. The best surprise was when returning back to Yerevan to discover that a dinner arrangement was awaiting for us. Ms. Nona escorted us to an Italian restaurant and during the way Armenian hospitality and kindness were really felt. The whole experience was unforgettable. It is tours like these and people like Grigor and Nona who will make me visit Armenia again and again.
