Itinerary
Your adventure begins with a morning transfer from Yerevan to Hovk before ascending toward Mount Dimats. Enjoy sweeping mountain views before descending through beautiful forests to Haghartsin Monastery. After exploring the monastery, transfer to Dilijan for your overnight stay.
Hike through the forests of Dilijan National Park beneath towering oak and hornbeam trees before descending into the charming mountain town of Dilijan. Spend the evening exploring its historic streets, artisan workshops, and cafu00e9s.
Enjoy a lighter hiking day visiting Matosavank and Jukhtak Vank Monasteries hidden deep within the forests around Dilijan. The afternoon is free to explore the town or simply relax before the longer hiking stages ahead.
Leave Dilijan through the remarkable Drunken Forest before reaching the crystal-clear waters of Parz Lake. Continue to the village of Gosh, where you'll visit the impressive medieval Goshavank Monastery.
The most challenging day of the trek crosses alpine meadows and open ridgelines to Gosh Lake and the ruins of Chermakavan Monastery before descending to Semyonovka Village. Spectacular mountain panoramas reward your efforts throughout the day.
Finish your journey with a scenic hike from Mashtotsner Chapel to Dream Peak, overlooking the vast waters of Lake Sevan. Descend to the Sevan Botanical Garden before your arranged return transfer to Yerevan.
