Overview

The hike starts right next to Goshavank monastery or Dilijan city, if necessary we provide transportation to reach the monastery. From the monastery complex, the walk continues along the 4.2 km forest trails. The trip takes about 3 hours, including walking through the area and returning. The hike is medium complexity.

Lake Gosh is located in the heart of the Dilijan National Park. The lake was named after Armenian writer and public figure Mkhitar Gosh. This natural wonder has become a favorite place for both tourists and locals. The nature around Lake Gosh is especially beautiful in early autumn, when dry weather stands and the trees are already dressed in their gilded clothes. The lake is 100 meters long and 80 meters wide. Maximum depth 8 m. In summer the water temperature reaches only 14° C.

At the end of the hike we will visit Gorshavank, where I will present the history and architectural features of the monastery.

This hike will fill your day with indescribable impressions and will forever remain in your memory.
