Start your adventure with a visit to Dilijan National Park, a nature lover's paradise. Explore the lush forests, crystal-clear lakes, and breathtaking waterfalls by hiking the various trails in the park. In the morning, take the Parz Lich trail to admire the stunning lake views. After lunch, hike the Goshavank Monastery trail to see the 12th-century monastery tucked away in the hills. In the evening, relax at your hotel in Dilijan and enjoy the town's cozy atmosphere.
Get ready for an exhilarating day as you head to Tatev Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Take the Wings of Tatev, the world's longest reversible cable car, to reach the monastery. Feast your eyes on the stunning views of the surrounding mountain ranges and the Vorotan River Gorge from the cable car. At the monastery, admire the intricate carvings and frescoes and learn about its rich history. In the evening, head back to your hotel in Goris and enjoy a delicious Armenian dinner.
End your adventure with a challenging yet rewarding climb up Mount Aragats, the highest mountain in Armenia. Start early in the morning to avoid the midday heat and reach the peak by mid-afternoon. The climb involves some steep and rocky terrain, so make sure you have proper gear and a guide. At the peak, enjoy the stunning views of the Armenian landscape and celebrate your accomplishment. In the evening, head back to Yerevan and spend your last night exploring the city's vibrant nightlife.
If you have extra time, consider visiting Lake Sevan, the largest lake in Armenia, and the Haghartsin Monastery, a 10th-century monastery hidden in the forests of Dilijan. You can also take a side trip to Khor Virap, a monastery with stunning views of Mount Ararat, or the Garni Temple, a Hellenistic temple dedicated to the sun god. To maximize your fun, try paragliding in Yenokavan, canyoning in Jermuk, or horseback riding in the Armenian countryside. Don't forget to try the local cuisine, including khorovats (Armenian barbecue), dolma (stuffed grape leaves), and lavash (Armenian flatbread). Safe travels and have fun!
