Additional Information

Lake Sevan, a freshwater body of water situated within the Armenian Highland, is the biggest lake found in the Caucasus. We’ll explore Sevanavank - a monastery located on the northwest shoreline of Lake Sevan, which is positioned on the Sevan peninsula that was once a diminutive island.

Our journey will further lead us to the Tavush region of Armenia - specifically the quaint resort town of Dilijan. We’ll stop by Haghartsin Monastery which was erected during the 10th-13th centuries, predominantly under the support of the Bagratuni dynasty. Our next visit will be to Goshavank - a 12th-13th century monastery complex in the village of Gosh. Historically, Goshavank is a celebrated cultural, educational, and religious hub of medieval Armenia, often referred to as a seminary or university in historical texts. We’ll culminate our expedition by returning to Yerevan.

The lifeline of Armenia - It is said by the locals that if Sevan Dries up ever, the country will be dead in 40 days. Lake Sevan is not only the lifeline of the Armenians, but it is also by far the most beautiful place I have seen. For the monastery, one has the climb 200 odd stairs but it's worth the climb as once you are on the top the view is mesmerizing.
