For a start, head out for a morning bike ride towards Lake Sevan. On top of the hill, Sevanavank monastery is situated. Sevanavank was built by the Armenian Princess Mariam. It is home to the most wonderful Amenaprkich cross-stone (khachkar). It is one of the rarest cross-stones depicting Jesus Christ and the whole Bible on the stone. Moreover, besides the architectural wonders, breathtaking scenery opens up in front of you. The magical lake takes you to another world.
Next, bike through the winding roads and forests to explore Haghartsin monastery. It is a 13th-century monastery located near the town of Dilijan. According to a legend, an eagle was soaring over the dome of the main building during the church consecration. Thus, it became commonly known as the monastery of the playing (or soaring) eagle (“Hagh” means a game while “Artsin” means eagle in Armenian). Haghartsin is deep in the forests and is known as the pearl and queen of the forests.
