Getting there

Car

If you're traveling by car, start from the town of Gavar, which is the capital of Gegharkunik. Head east on the M1 highway towards the village of Sarnaghbyur. After approximately 15 kilometers, take the exit toward Sarnaghbyur. Once you enter the village, follow the local roads to reach the coordinates 40.5460158, 43.887245, which is the location of Hogevank. Parking is available nearby.

Public Transportation

For public transportation, take a marshrutka (minibus) from Gavar towards Sarnaghbyur. Marshrutkas are frequent, and you can catch one at the main bus station. The ride will take about 30 minutes. Once you arrive in Sarnaghbyur, ask the driver to drop you off at the nearest stop to Hogevank. From there, it's a short walk to the monastery (approximately 1 kilometer). Consider carrying a small map or having the location saved on your phone to navigate easily.

The fare should be around 3000 to 4000 AMD, depending on negotiations and traffic conditions. Simply provide the driver with the coordinates or the name 'Hogevank' to ensure they understand your destination.
