Itinerary
Tsaghkadzor city (translated as valley of flowers) is considered to be one of the most popular winter resorts of Armenia. It is one of the places of our mountainous country, where the beauty of the nature appears with its whole variety. Tsaghkadzor is situated in Kotayk region, 60 km north from Yerevan, on the eastern slope of Teghenis Mountain, surrounded with virginal woods and alpine meadows. Optional: free time or ropeway ride
Kecharis monastery is in the north-western part of Tsaghkadzor. It was built in 11-13th centuries. The monastery consists of four churches and a half-destroyed mausoleum of Grigorius Pahlavuni, who financed the building of the monastery.
The fascination and the "pearl" of mountainous Armenia is Lake Sevan, which is one of the world's greatest high altitude fresh-water lakes. It is about 1900 m above sea level. The lake is of volcanic origin and is surrounded with mountains of 3000 m and higher. The beautiful landscape and the crystal water serve nice preconditions for excellent rest.The lake is also famous for its peninsula and medieval church complex, built in 874.
A marvelous scene opens in the north-western part of Lake Sevan, where the peninsula towers over the transparent surface of the lake. Sevanavank monastery was built on the peninsula in 874 by the order of king Ashot Bagratuni's daughter – princess Mariam. The silhouette of the churches against the background of the turquoise lake and blue sky casts unexplainable impression on the visitors.

A good light-hearted tour, there were only Russian speakers, guide Samvel had time to tell information on each location in great detail. Main impressions of Lake Sevan, chic views. The bus was nice, with a wi-fi, driven by Joseph's driver carefully.

I had a wonderful experience on the Private Tour: Tsaghkadzor, Kecharis Monastery, Tsaghkadzor Ropeway, Lake Sevan, and Sevanavank Monastery with Hyur Service. The entire day was perfectly organized, relaxing, and very informative. Our guide Anush was outstanding — extremely knowledgeable, well-educated, and passionate about Armenian history and culture. She explained every landmark in a clear and engaging way, shared interesting stories, and pointed out many hidden details that made each location even more special. Her friendly attitude kept the trip active and enjoyable throughout the day. A special thanks as well to our driver Spartacus, whose excellent driving skills made the journey smooth, comfortable, and very safe. His professionalism allowed us to fully enjoy the scenic mountain roads and long drives without any stress. From the beautiful views in Tsaghkadzor to the spiritual atmosphere of Kecharis and Sevanavank, and the breathtaking scenery of Lake Sevan, everything exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Hyur Service, and especially Anush and Spartacus, to anyone looking for a high-quality private tour in Armenia. I would definitely choose them again for future trips.
We are very grateful for the nice review! You are always welcome to Armenia!
