Our private tour to Lake Sevan, Sevanavank, Goghavank and Lake Gosh lasts around 8-9 hours, and all the sites are situated in the north of Armenia.
1. The first stop is in Gegharkunik region, at Lake Sevan, the largest lake in the country, with a surface area of 5,000 km². It is fed by 29 rivers, and only one river outflows – the Hrazdan River.
On top of the peninsula stands a 9th-century monastery, built from black tufa stone and known as Sevanavank, which literally translates as Black Monastery. From the top of the peninsula, you can enjoy a beautiful view of Lake Sevan from the nearby sightseeing spot.
2. The next stop is in Tavush region, in the resort town of Dilijan, most of which is covered with thick forest and lies within the territory of Dilijan National Park. Here, we’ll visit Goshavank Monastery, a 12th-century complex founded by Mkhitar Gosh, an Armenian scholar and author of the first Armenian constitution, Datastanagirk.
3. The last stop is Lake Gosh, named after the founder of the monastery. It is located within Dilijan National Park. The lake is fed by underground springs and is surrounded by dense forest.
For travelers who enjoy a mix of landscapes and culture, this tour brings together the best of both: you will visit the shores of Lake Sevan and two historic monasteries, with time to enjoy the quiet beauty of Lake Gosh.
All private tours can be changed upon request.
