Republic Square
You arrive in Yerevan, and you're met by our Feel Armenia team. Welcome to Armenia! You will be transferred to your hotel. As you will be quite tired after the flight(s), we haven't planned anything for this day. Instead, you will stay at the hotel, relax and get prepared for the upcoming days. What is next?
Khor Virap
It dates back to the end of the 3rd century, when Saint Gregory the Illuminator suffered persecution for spreading the Christian faith. His place of imprisonment and suffering was Khor Virap Monastery, a sacred site that stands today with breathtaking views of biblical Mount Ararat. From here, Christianity spread throughout the land, eventually leading to the establishment of the Holy See of Echmiadzin, the spiritual center of the Armenian Apostolic Church.
Saint Gayane Church
Discover the Spiritual City of Echmiadzin Echmiadzin, the spiritual heart of Armenia, invites you to explore the roots of Christianity. Here you’ll find the historic churches of St. Gayane and St. Hripsime, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites. These sacred landmarks are dedicated to the three virgins who bravely preached Christianity in the late 3rd century. Just a short distance away lies the Mother See of Echmiadzin, the spiritual center of the Armenian Apostolic Church.
Zvartnots Temple
Just outside Echmiadzin stands the awe-inspiring ruins of Zvartnots Cathedral, a 7th-century architectural masterpiece. Although in ruins today, its beauty and harmony with the surrounding landscape remain undeniable. With the majestic Mount Ararat as a backdrop, Zvartnots offers one of the most breathtaking views in Armenia. After this unforgettable journey through history and spirituality, you’ll return to the capital city, Yerevan.
The Monastery of Geghard
Start your morning with a touch of spirituality at the Geghard Monastery, where the serene atmosphere and morning liturgy create a perfect harmony of soul and mind. Dating back to the 4th century, Geghard is one of Armenia’s greatest architectural and cultural treasures, carved partly into the surrounding cliffs. Its powerful presence and sacred history leave a lasting impression. After this moving experience, continue your journey to Garni.
Garni Temple
Before adopting Christianity, Armenians practiced paganism—and the only surviving monument from that era still stands today: the Temple of Garni. Dating back to the 1st century AD, this Greco-Roman temple sits in the picturesque village of Garni, surrounded by breathtaking mountains and nature. Beyond the temple, the area is home to historic churches and stunning landscapes that capture Armenia’s ancient spirit. As a special highlight, you’ll enjoy an exclusive live Duduk concert, the soulful sounds of Armenia’s traditional instrument, performed just for you.
Garni Gorge
Prepare to be amazed by the Symphony of Stones, a breathtaking natural wonder that feels both earthly and otherworldly. Towering basalt columns, formed by ancient volcanic eruptions, create a sight so unique that words can hardly capture its beauty. This natural masterpiece will be an unforgettable highlight of your journey.
Monastery Sevanavank
Your journey continues to the greenest region of Armenia, but first, you’ll stop at the country’s incredible treasure—Lake Sevan. One of the largest freshwater, high-altitude lakes in the world, Sevan is often called the “Pearl of Armenia.” On its picturesque peninsula, stretching into the blue waters, stands the powerful Sevanavank Monastery, a site of history, spirituality, and breathtaking views.
Haghartsin Monastery
Continue your journey to Dilijan, a charming town often called the “Little Switzerland of Armenia” for its lush forests and fresh mountain air. Just a short drive away, hidden deep in the greenery, lies the Haghartsin Monastery. Dating back to the 13th century, this architectural gem was once an important center of education and culture. Surrounded by nature, it offers both tranquility and a glimpse into Armenia’s medieval heritage.
Karmravor Church
Depart ti Ashtarak and visit the small yet remarkable Karmravor Church, dating back to the 7th century. Known for its red-tiled dome, from which it gets its name (Karmravor means “reddish”), this well-preserved gem is one of Armenia’s oldest standing churches. Despite its modest size, it carries great historical and spiritual significance, offering a glimpse into early Armenian Christian architecture.
Depart to the 13th-century Saghmosavank Monastery, dramatically located on the edge of the Kasagh River Gorge. Known as the “Monastery of the Psalms”, it was once a vital spiritual and educational center of medieval Armenia. From its grounds, admire breathtaking views of the gorge and, on clear days, the majestic Mount Ararat rising in the distance. The harmony of ancient architecture and stunning nature makes Saghmosavank a truly unforgettable destination.
Republic Square
After unforgettable experiences in Armenia, it’s time to say goodbye though we hope to welcome you back again soon. You will be transferred to Zvartnots International Airport for your departure.

I had the privilege of traveling with Feel Armenia, and I can confidently say it was one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had. What really sets them apart is their personal approach and attention to detail. Every aspect of the trip, from accommodations to dining to activities, was carefully selected to reflect Armenia’s unique culture and beauty. The itinerary was well-balanced, giving us time to explore, learn, and relax. I was particularly impressed with their flexibility—when we wanted to make changes, they accommodated us effortlessly. Feel Armenia truly made Armenia feel like home.
