2 days tour

The program starts with Lake Sevan ("The Blue Pearl of Armenia") - the highest freshwater mountain lake in Europe, and surrounded by the Lesser Caucasus mountain range. Set 1900m above sea level, Sevan is the largest lake in the Caucasus, it's also one of the largest freshwater high-altitude lakes in the world. Its colors and shades change with the weather and by its own mysterious processes, from a dazzling azure to dark blue and a thousand shades in between.

The tour around the lake also includes a visit to the Sevanavank Monastery. Enjoy a visit to the picturesque site of monastery, an ancient religious complex that overlooks Lake Sevan. Situated on a peninsula that was once an island before the water level dropped, the monastery stands atop a hill, with scenic views of the lake and the often-snow-capped slopes in the backdrop. You'll need to climb a number of stairs to reach the site, but you'll be rewarded with inspiring panoramic views. Explore the two historic churches, most likely dating from the 9th century and exhibiting a typical, simple Armenian style of architecture.

For the lovers of high sky, we offer in Sevan an amazing Paragliding adventure as an optional activity at extra cost.

The day wouldn’t be complete without visiting Haghartsin Monastery that rises among the majestic mountains where eagles fly. The name of monastery is associated with them: Haghartsin in Armenian means “game of eagles”.

Haghartsin used to be a major center of culture and spirituality in Armenia since the 13th century.
