Yerevan is a bright starting point for organized tours of the city, its surroundings and neighboring regions. From here, it is convenient to plan trips to nearby cities and areas in order to see key monuments, natural corners and get acquainted with the local culture in a short time. Our routes are focused on traveling to the nearest territories around the capital, without long journeys, and are suitable both for day trips and for intensive programs for several days.
In the programs in Yerevan and nearby areas, you will see ancient monuments and architecture: from traces of the Urartian Erebuni to the main monasteries and temples of the region. Mandatory stops in excursions are the Garni temple and the Geghard monastery, trips to Echmiatsin as a spiritual center, as well as walks through historical places of Yerevan itself. The proximity of these facilities allows you to collect interesting routes in neighboring cities and districts, acquainting you with the multi-layered history of the region.
The nature around Yerevan surprises with its diversity: mountainous landscapes, picturesque mountain valleys and the pearl of the region – Lake Sevan, which is often included in excursion routes. For outdoor activities, hiking in the surrounding mountains, short trekking and winter trips are available, when the mountains are transformed into snow panoramas. For family trips and relaxing holidays, there are quiet natural corners in the suburbs and neighboring areas where you can enjoy the views and clean air.
A special place in the programs is occupied by gastronomic and cultural meetings: tasting the legendary Armenian cognac in Maran in Yerevan, visiting the workshops of artisans and getting acquainted with the traditional craft culture of nearby villages and towns. Ethno-excursions provide an opportunity to observe crafts, visit farmyards and meet with local residents who preserve living traditions. Such trips combine emotions, tastes and authentic impressions of neighboring territories.
The formats of the tours are diverse: individual trips and author's guided tours, group trips along ready-made routes, road trips around the neighborhood, as well as hiking trails and mountain walks within the nearest areas. Local guides offer author’s routes that reveal little-known corners, link history and nature and make each trip unique. Thanks to local experts, you will get live stories, convenient logistics solutions and rich excursion programs in neighboring areas.
