Why Armenia
Why travel to Armenia
Cradled in the southern Caucasus, Armenia is one of the world's oldest civilisations — a land of monasteries carved into gorges, high-altitude lakes and a 6,000-year-old winemaking tradition, wrapped in famously warm hospitality. Here is what to expect on the ground.
What's the weather like?
Armenia enjoys over 300 days of sun a year across four distinct seasons. Summers are hot and dry — Yerevan and the lowlands can reach 30–36°C — while spring and autumn are mild and ideal for hiking. Winters are cold, with heavy snow in the mountains.
Top things to do
- Ride the Wings of Tatev — one of the world's longest cable cars — to Tatev Monastery
- Hike the forests and trails of Dilijan National Park
- Taste ancient wines in the Areni valley and Armenian brandy in Yerevan
Dishes to try
- Khorovats — Armenian charcoal barbecue
- Dolma — vine leaves stuffed with spiced meat and rice

Top places to visit in Armenia
From cliff-edge monasteries to Silk Road fortresses and a vast alpine lake, these are the landscapes our Armenia expedition is built around.
Lake Sevan
One of the world's largest high-altitude lakes at around 1,900m, ringed by beaches and crowned by the hilltop Sevanavank monastery.
Tatev
A 9th-century cliff-top monastery reached by the Wings of Tatev, one of the world's longest reversible aerial cable cars, above the Vorotan Gorge.
Khor Virap
A monastery on the Ararat plain framing the most iconic view of Mt Ararat, on the site where Armenia's first Christian king was once held prisoner.
Dilijan
A forested spa town known as 'Armenian Switzerland', gateway to the trails and wildlife of Dilijan National Park.
Garni & Geghard
A Hellenistic pagan temple at Garni beside the UNESCO-listed Geghard monastery, partly hewn straight into the surrounding cliffs.

Armenia expedition FAQs
When is the best time to visit Armenia?
Late spring and early autumn (May–June and September–October) are ideal, with mild temperatures for hiking and, in autumn, the grape harvest and golden foliage. Midsummer can be very hot in the lowlands.
How fit do I need to be for this expedition?
This is a hiking-focused expedition with several hours of walking on some days over uneven mountain terrain. Please check the individual expedition page for the difficulty rating and full day-by-day detail.
Do I need a visa for Armenia?
Many nationalities can enter Armenia visa-free or with a simple e-visa for tourism, but rules depend on your passport and can change. Please confirm the current requirements with an official Armenian government source before you travel.
