Itinerary
We will start our tour visiting the city of Dilijan, which is sometimes referred to as the forest kingdom of Armenia. In this cozy town, you can find vivid examples of traditional wooden house architecture. The mountains and gorges are covered with rich forests changing to alpine meadows and dotted with small farms, hiking tracks, lakes and rivers. The mountainous landscape is highly diverse, with different terrains, climates, soils and water resources. Many natural and man-made features enrich the national park: monasteries, lakes, archeological sites, forests, rivers and farmland create an endlessly-changing environment.
The day wouldn’t be complete without visiting Haghartsin Monastery that rises among the majestic mountains where eagles fly. The name of the monastery is associated with them: Haghartsin in Armenian means “game of eagles”. The most ancient building of Haghartsin is the Church of St. Grigor built in the 11th century by monks who fled from Western Armenia fleeing persecution. Haghartsin used to be a major center of culture and spirituality in Armenia since the 13th century.
The day continues with a heartbeat of emotions and unforgettable extremes at Yell Extreme Park - being in the heart of astonishing Yenokavan mountains, Yell Extreme Park is a real paradise for those who want to combine adrenaline with eco environment. Park offers about 10 unusual and creative activities (zipline, via ferrata, rock climbing, horseback riding, zorbing and more) and is recognized as one of the most unique amusements in the region. We are pretty sure that here each one will find an activity that is close to his heart.
