Morning Reflections by Lake Sevan

As the sun rises over Yerevan, casting a gentle glow on the city, the promise of a new day beckons. The mild March weather, with its cool morning breeze, invites you to embark on a journey beyond the city limits. Just a short drive away lies Lake Sevan, a serene oasis that mirrors the sky’s changing hues. Here, the Armenia Adventure offers an early start at 8:00 AM, perfect for those who wish to capture the tranquility of the morning.

Lake Sevan, one of the largest freshwater high-altitude lakes in the world, is a sight to behold. The ancient Sevanavank Monastery stands proudly on its peninsula, a testament to Armenia’s rich history. As you wander through its stone corridors, the whispers of the past seem to echo in the gentle lapping of the lake’s waves. The journey continues to the Haghpat Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where time appears to stand still amidst the remnants of Soviet-era factories.
