Lake Sevan & Dilijan
Lake Sevan — one of the highest mountain lakes in the world, an indispensable part of the Armenian landscape. We'll climb up to the Sevanavank monastery on a peninsula, where two 9th-century churches stand overlooking endless turquoise water and ridges on the horizon.
Then — Dilijan, often called the 'Armenian Switzerland' for its forested mountain slopes, mineral springs, and traditional wooden balcony architecture. We'll walk through the historic Sharambeyan Street and visit the Haghartsin monastery, hidden in dense forests of Tavush.
The day includes lunch with fresh Sevan trout (where the season permits) and time to simply breathe in the mountain air.
