What to expect
Statue of Akhtamar at Lake Sevan
Enjoy the beauty of Armenians' pride.
Yes, we continue down the road and come to Selim Caravanserai. Selim Caravanserai was built along the commercial route for the accommodation of travellers. The famous Silk Road was passing by the Selim mountains, and this building has been the perfect place for travellers. Selim Caravanserai dates back to the 14th century but has been kept quite well.
With a handful of emotions, we go to Khor Virap, the majestic monastery, where the roots of Christianity go back. Grigor the Enlightener had been kept here before the king adopted Christianity as the state religion of Armenia. After that, the monastery was built on the ‘deep dungeon’ where the preacher of Christianity had been kept. Now the combination of biblical Mt Ararat and Khor Virap is the perfect blend of a natural miracle and a handmade wonder. Then you head back to Yerevan with the unforgettable experience and a piece of Armenia in your heart.
This time we are going to discover the well-kept gems of Armenia. We start from Yerevan and go to Lake Sevan. There you will see Hayravank standing on the hill and watching the crystal waters of the lake. Hayravank is a 9th-century monastery located just northeast of the village of Hayravank along the southwestern shores of Lake Sevan in the Gegharkunik Region of Armenia. The monastic complex is complete along with the lake and the proud mountains all around. And the incredible khachkars on the hill which bear the long history and the difficulties of Armenia have remained exceptionally beautiful despite everything.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
