Explore Lake Sevan & Dilijan Day Tour from Yerevan - Visit Sevanavank, Goshavank and Haghartsin Monasteries
On this 9–10-hour tour you’ll discover the jewel of the highlands by visiting Lake Sevan, one of the largest freshwater high-altitude lakes in Eurasia, and soak in panoramic views from the tip of the Sevan peninsula, where the full beauty of the lake unfolds; you’ll also explore the historic Sevanavank monastery complex on the peninsula, home to a religious seminary that gives the site its atmosphere of quiet reverence. You’ll make a refreshing short stop in Dilijan-often called “Armenian Switzerland” for its fantastic natural forests and located within Dilijan National Park-before visiting the beautifully renovated 10th-century Haghartsin monastery, recently restored thanks to a notable donation from the Ruler of Sharjah, and finishing at the serene, green-surrounded Goshavank; this route blends lakeside scenery, historic monastic culture, and forested mountain charm for a full-day experience that’s ideal for sightseeing, nature lovers, families, and anyone looking to book an immersive day trip.
