Good to know

Questions about this trip

How much does the Dilijan, Parz Lake, Haghartsin & Goshavank trip cost?

AMD 43,900 per car in a sedan for 1–4 travellers with up to 3 suitcases (up to 2 when there are four); otherwise, AMD 62,400 in a minivan for groups of up to 7. It is the price for the whole car, not per person, and it includes fuel, parking, hotel pickup and drop-off and bottled water.

How long does it take and when do we start?

Plan about 9 hours with all stops (260 km in total). You choose the pickup time when booking; many travellers start between 8:00 and 10:00.

Will the driver tell us about the history of the sites?

The driver helps with practical tips — where to stop, where to eat, how long to stay. Under Armenian tourism law, a guided tour with historical commentary is the job of a licensed guide: add one when booking for AMD 40,000.

Can we change the stops or stay longer?

Small changes on the way are fine. Only waiting beyond the planned time or an unplanned detour can cost extra, and the price is agreed with you first.

Can we do Dilijan, Parz Lake, Haghartsin & Goshavank in one day from Yerevan?

Yes — it is a round trip from Yerevan within one day: about 9 hours door to door, 260 km of driving, with the stops included. For long routes we suggest an early pickup; you choose the time when booking, and the driver brings you back to your hotel the same evening.

In what order do we visit the stops?

The route goes: Dilijan old town, Sharambeyan street → Haghartsin Monastery → Parz Lake, walk around the lake → Goshavank Monastery. The driver keeps this order unless the light, the weather or the crowds make another order better for you — say so, and small changes on the way are fine.

Does this trip run all year?

This trip runs all year round.

What if I need to cancel?

Cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before pickup. Later than that, you can move the trip to another date once, free of charge. We do not take deposits.
