This private day excursion from Yerevan takes you to the Armenian Alphabet Monument and the breathtaking Saghmosavank and Hovhannavank Monasteries, both perched elegantly above the Kasagh River Gorge.
Details of the Day Trip
At the specified time, our team will collect you from your hotel in Yerevan to commence this exclusive day trip. Prepare to immerse yourself in Armenia's rich history!
Your journey will begin at the Monument to the Armenian Alphabet, situated in the village of Artashavan. Here, you’ll wander among its 39 imposing stone structures, each symbolizing a letter of the Armenian script. As you explore, discover how this writing system serves as a foundational element of national identity.
Following this, we will proceed to the Saghmosavank Monastery, which majestically overlooks the landscape from its cliffside perch. This 13th-century monastic ensemble offers stunning panoramic vistas of the Kasagh River and Mount Aragats. Be sure to capture this perfect moment!
In close proximity, the Hovhannavank Monastery awaits your visit. Dating from the 4th to 13th centuries, it boasts a 5th-century basilica alongside the 13th-century Church of St. John, renowned for its distinctive volcanic tuff construction, showcasing a vibrant array of red and orange shades.
After our exploration, we’ll return to the original meeting point, concluding the experience approximately 4 to 5 hours after our start.
Self-Guided Tour
If you prefer a more leisurely exploration, consider opting for the self-guided experience in English upon booking. In this scenario, after being picked up from your hotel, you’ll be accompanied solely by a driver to navigate between the planned stops.
