AMD 28,500 per car in a sedan for 1–4 travellers with up to 3 suitcases (up to 2 when there are four); otherwise, AMD 40,500 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.
Plan about 5 hours with all stops (90 km in total). You choose the pickup time when booking; many travellers start between 8:00 and 10:00.
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 25,000.
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.
Yes — it is a round trip from Yerevan within one day: about 5 hours door to door, 90 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.
The route goes: St. Mesrop Mashtots Church in Oshakan → Karmravor Church, Ashtarak → Saghmosavank Monastery → Hovhannavank 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.
This trip runs all year round.
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.
Up the slopes of Mount Aragats to the 7th-century fortress of Amberd, the monastery of Tegher and the observatory of Byurakan; the Armenian alphabet monument on the way.

Echmiadzin and its churches (St. Hripsime of the 7th century, St. Gayane and the main cathedral of the Armenian Apostolic Church), the Sardarapat memorial to the battle of May 1918 and the ruins of Zvartnots against Mount Ararat.
