Lake Sevan, the Monasteries of Sevanavank Monastery, Hayravank Monastery & the Noraduz Cemetery Private Day Trip

Exclusive Day Excursion from Yerevan focusing on Armenian heritage, featuring a visit to Lake Sevan, the monasteries of Sevanavank and Hayravank, alongside the historic cemetery at Noraduz.

Details of the Day Excursion

At the agreed time, we will collect you from your accommodation in Yerevan and depart the city to embark on this exclusive day excursion showcasing some of Armenia’s most stunning attractions. Let’s commence!

Our first destination is Lake Sevan, renowned as one of the largest elevated lakes globally, with an expanse exceeding 1,200 square kilometers (463 sq mi). Here, you will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the awe-inspiring natural beauty, framed by the lake's vibrant blue waters.

We will then proceed to Sevanavank Monastery, perched on a small peninsula and providing remarkable vistas of Lake Sevan. Following that, we will make our way to Hayravank Monastery, which is also situated beside the lake on a rocky elevation.

Next, we will pause at a local restaurant for approximately 1 hour to savor traditional Armenian dishes and refuel our energy.

Once refreshed, we will head to the Noraduz Cemetery, known for housing the most extensive collection of khachkars (intricately carved stone crosses) in existence. Strolling amongst these age-old structures offers insight into Armenia’s deep-rooted history, rich symbolism, and cultural traditions.

In conclusion, we will return to our initial meeting point, bringing this engaging 7 to 8-hour excursion to a close.
