Itinerary
This special experience promises you a trip to the gorge of flowers, the city of Tsaghkadzor – a small Olympic town not far from Yerevan, approximately an hour’s drive away. Here, you can take a ropeway ride. The Tsaghkadzor ropeway offers a scenic ride high above the mountains, giving riders a great view of the surrounding landscape. It's a popular spot for both tourists and locals looking to enjoy the beautiful nature and fresh air.
Kecharis Monastery is a medieval Armenian monastic complex dating back to the 11th to 13th centuries. Nestled in the Pambak mountains, Kecharis was founded by a Pahlavuni prince in the 11th century, and construction continued until the middle of the 13th century. In the 12th and 13th centuries, Kecharis was a major religious center of Armenia and a place of higher education. Today, the monastery has been fully restored and is clearly visible from the ski slopes.
Whilst staying in Armenia, you simply cannot miss the opportunity of visiting one of the country’s most renowned landmarks – the beautiful lake Sevan. Merely an hour’s drive from the capital city of Yerevan, Sevan is situated at the height of 1900m above sea level and surrounded by a vast chain of mountains.
Hiking up the Sevan peninsula offers an amazing view of the lake from the top that you won't forget.

The tour was smooth and time-conscious. Would like to commend the guide Armina for being such passionate about being a guide all throughout the tour. She even went through the expectation since in the group mixed nationalities are present and then she was switching from Russian and English language. Also, she was easy to approached since I needed someone to take a picture of me. She is well-knowledgeable and has lots of input regarding the tour. Moreover, I would like to thank for the Mr. Driver which I cannot remember the name but starts with the letter V. All in all, I would recommend this tour company since they really know how to deal, interact, and help tourists just like me who travels solo.
