Tsaghkadzor
Located just 50km from Yerevan, Tsaghkadzor is Armenia’s premier resort town. It shifts effortlessly from a snowy ski paradise in winter to a vibrant green retreat in summer.
Tsaghkadzor Ropeway
It takes you up Mount Teghenis (2,819 meters) for a panoramic view of the Armenian Highlands.
Kecharis Monastery
An 11th century masterpiece of medieval Armenian architecture located right in the heart of town.
Lake Sevan
one of the largest high-altitude freshwater lakes in the world. At 1,900 meters above sea level, the air is crisp and the water is a brilliant turquoise.
Sevanavank Monastery
Perched on a peninsula, these 9^{th}-century black stone churches offer the most famous photo op in the country. You'll need to climb about 200 steps to get there, but the view is worth every breath.
Dilijan (Old Dilijan)
Passing through a long tunnel from Sevan, you emerge into a completely different ecosystem. Dilijan is characterized by its dense oak and beech forests and its humid, "healing" air.
Old Dilijan is A restored 19th-century street with stone buildings and wooden balconies where local craftsmen work.
Parz Lake
A small, tranquil lake reflecting the surrounding forest—perfect for a quiet stroll or a quick boat ride.
The Caucasian Red Deer Breeding Center.
is a conservation success story located within the lush Dilijan National Park. It was established as part of a reintroduction program to bring red deer back to the forests of Armenia after they had essentially disappeared from the region.
Haghartsin monastery
Tucked deep in the Dilijan National Park, this hidden gem looks like something out of a fairytale, especially when the mist rolls through the trees.
Ending Point
YEREVAN republic square or Your Hotel.

“Amazing experience! The guide was absolute top tier — reliable, knowledgeable, and so much fun”
The tour was great. Christ and kevor are reliable and fun guys. The did blend in to perfectly to our group. Open for suggestions and -very important- very safe drivers. From my heart I can say it was one of the best guides we ever had over the years of travelling. Chris knows a lot, was more like a friend. There when you have questions and on the background when we had talks with each other. Worth every euro.
