What To Expect
Kecharis Monastery
Kecharis medieval monastery complex is located in the northwestern part of city Tsaghkadzor. It is noteworthy not only with architectural originality, but also with its interesting story. His formation lasted 220 years, with over 150 years of interruption. Such fate was due to the peculiarities of the historical period. The construction of the monastery began during the reign of the Bagratuni dynasty, and continued by the Pahlavuni dynasty. The first church in the area of Kecharis monastic complex, St. Gregory the Illuminator, was built in 995-1003, and then other sacred places were built. The Kecharis monastery includes three churches, St. Gregory the Illuminator with a domed hall, St. Nshan and St. Cathoghike churches, two chapels and a courtyard. A little further to the west, on the way to the forest there is another church – St Harutiun. Unlike similar monasteries of Armenia, Kecharis’ main structures form a straight corner on their own pillars.
Lake Sevan
The high-mountainous Lake Sevan is the “pearl of Armenia”. Lake Sevan – located at an altitude of 1,900 m above sea level in the center of the Armenian highland, 63 km northeast of the Armenian capital of Yerevan city and is the largest of the Caucasus lakes. From all sides, Sevan is surrounded by mountain ranges, offering a stunning view of alpine lake.. The lake is famous for its purest fresh water, and pure mountain air has a beneficial effect on health.

5.00Our 2nd day tour in Armenia was absolutely amazing and one of the highlights of our trip. We truly enjoyed every stop and felt so blessed to experience snow for the first time — it was magical! ❄️✨ The cable car ride in Tsaghkadzor was unforgettable, especially as first-timers. We also loved warming up with hot chocolate there — it was really good and perfect for the cold weather ☕🤍 Lake Sevan was stunning, and the restaurant beside the lake was a great choice. The food was delicious and the view made the experience even better. Most importantly, our tour guide Davit Tovmasyan was excellent — very kind, professional, and speaks English very well, which made everything easy and enjoyable for us. He explained the places clearly and made the whole day smooth and fun. Overall, it was a wonderful and memorable day. Highly recommended — we enjoyed it so much and will cherish these memories of Armenia forever 🇦🇲❤️

5.00The experience was really nice. We booked the whole Armenia trip with IFly tourism. We experienced the cable ride and it was amazing. The view was from the top was exceptional. We also went to see the Sevan Lake. The view was really beautiful and it was veryy cold. We drank some coffee and hot chocolate and enjoyed the view. The car ride seeing the place fully covered with white snow was really beautiful. Everyone should experience this in their life atleast once. A lot of thanks to IFly tourism.

4.00Good experience. All the places have their own charm. Its nice to be picked up and dropped off at your hotel. A little bit pricey, ultimately paying for a cab ride.
