Gegharkunik Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Family Trip - Lake Sevan

Lake Sevan is the largest body of water in Armenia and the Caucasus region. The lake is situated in Gegharkunik Province, at an altitude of 1,900.44 m or 6,235 ft above sea level. So It is one of the largest freshwater high-altitude (alpine) lakes in Eurasia. I always loved swimming in the cool water of Sevan, it was one of my favorite destinations in Armenia since I was a child. Now every time when I stand on the shore of the lake, it brings up a lot of good and warm childhood memories. You can find several old church around the lake but the most popular one among tourists is (Sevanavank) located on a peninsula at the northwestern shore of Lake Sevan. #createwithtrip #lake #sevan #armenia #lakesevan #visitaenia #travellater

Saivan Lake is a mountain lake in Armenia. There are two monasteries on the hill. You can see the scenery of Saivan Lake just by climbing to the mountainside. In the summer, the flowers of the mountains are all open, and you walk along the path to the top of the mountain. Just like walking in the sea of flowers, the Lake Sevan in November will be covered with snow and ice. It is another fairy tale world scene. Now I can't see it from the oil painting. Just climbed to the top of the mountain and was shocked by the scenery in front of you. The waves on the unpredictable surface slowly drifted across the clouds, only the flowers and clouds in front of you. Standing on the summit, overlooking the entire Lake Sevan, it seems to have returned to the seaside of Dali, Yunnan, facing the sea, and relaxed and happy.
