More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You arrive on a quiet morning in Yerevan and slide into a leather seat while the city shrinks in the rearview and Mount Ararat grows to dominate the horizon. The driver and guide open a route that’s flexible by design—little detours, unplanned photo stops, and a slow walk along Sevan’s windy shoreline where smoke from seaside grills challenges the breeze.
