About this experience
From my childhood, I fell in love with the mountains of Armenia and I want to share this feeling with you. Our country is incredible! Ancient culture, historic temples, hospitality of the locals, truly heavenly nature - all of this you will experience here. During the hike, you will see rocks and caves where monks used to live, admire enchanting landscapes, and immerse yourself in the life of the highlanders.
What to expect
Land of Love
We will meet in Yerevan, board a comfortable minibus, and head towards the village of Semyonovka, where our hike will begin. During the walk, I will try to convey my feelings for Armenia to you because it is the land of love! Along the way, you will be mesmerized by stunning alpine meadows and deep gorges. We will stop for lunch with the highlanders, where you will taste dishes of the national cuisine. Then we will descend into the forests of Dilijan, admire the extraordinary pristine nature, and finish the walk in the village of Gosh.
Where monks lived
But that's not all! Before heading back, we will visit the Goshavank Monastery. You will see the rocks and caves where monks lived. On the way back to Yerevan, we will stop at Lake Sevan with a beautiful view of the Sevanavank Monastery complex. You will learn about how this monastery appeared, the problems the lake Sevan faced in different times, and other historical facts about Armenia.
