Armenia
A 10-day trip to Dilijan & Lake Sevan
Dense beech woodlands, alpine lake winds, and high-altitude medieval monasteries along the Transcaucasian trail corridor.
Dilijan and Lake Sevan represent Armenia's dramatic environmental shift north of Yerevan: crossing the 2.2-kilometer Sevan tunnel takes you from treeless high-altitude lake plateaus sitting at 1,900 meters to dense, humid beech and hornbeam forests. This paired corridor offers deep mountain walking anchored by the Transcaucasian Trail, 10th-century monastic compounds set in isolated ravines, and freshwater dining along the lake shoreline. While frequently treated as a hasty two-hour detour on the road to Tbilisi, spending several nights here unlocks some of the Caucasus's finest day hikes and restored historic quarters.
