Feeling the nature?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The answer is very simple: all the above mentioned and something more. We are offering for you to discover Armenia through hiking. Our trips are accompanied by stories about the history and visiting the landmarks. Every time you reach a medieval fortress or an ancient church, you are travelling through time and space. Touching the stones, you touch the history of ancient Armenia. \u00a0And the overnights in a rustic atmosphere will help you to understand modern Armenia, to see it from within and feel the whole colorite.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class='avia-iframe-wrap'><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Get Inspired with the Nature of Armenia\" width=\"1500\" height=\"844\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bdkBvY7YXGw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>For booking as well as for all questions, please<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"> <a style=\"color: #ff6600;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.armgeo.am\/en\/contacts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">contact us<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>+ the second guide for groups with more than 8 people<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Travel dates:\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">20 &#8211; 28 June 2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">11 &#8211; 19 July 2026<\/p>\n<p>13 &#8211; 21 September 2026<\/p>\n<div  class='hr av-dhdts3g-040479df15ed47868d60c8be7276624e hr-default  avia-builder-el-0  el_before_av_hr  avia-builder-el-first '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<h3>Day 1: Yerevan<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meet the group at the airport and transfer to the hotel.

It is surrounded by steep rocks from 3 sides and has strong walls with semicircular towers with the height of 8-10 meters and the width of 3-4 meters. There are many stories and legends about this fortress. The stories are connected to one of the greatest kings of Armenia. From here we can clearly see Mount Teksar.

The lake is on the height of 1900 meters. People call it the pearl of Armenian mountains and this metaphor reflects the whole essence of the attitude to lake Sevan.\u00a0 The lake, surrounded by mountains, is changing all the time depending on the season, and reflecting the slightest change in the weather, even because of the movement of the clouds,\u00a0 because of light and shadows, it may change beyond recognition. However, you should see all these with your own eyes, to understand.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19174\" style=\"width: 970px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\"
