We begin the tour at the Armenian Alphabet Park, where we will see monuments dedicated to the letters of the Armenian alphabet. We then continue to the Three D Crosses, where you can enjoy beautiful views of Mount Aragats and the surrounding mountain landscapes.
Ohanavank Monastery

Mountain scenery and heritage on the Aragats route
The group journey around Mount Aragats brings together the Armenian Alphabet Park, the 3D Cross and the churches of Ohanavank and Saghmosavank. The itinerary then continues to Amberd Fortress and Stone Lake, also known as Lake Kari. These stops combine cultural monuments with Armenia's highland landscape.
Because the route reaches mountain locations, conditions can differ considerably from those in central Yerevan. Check the date and published itinerary before booking, and plan clothing for changing weather. A shared departure keeps this sequence of stops on one group schedule; travelers seeking a dedicated car can compare the private route.
