Embark on an extraordinary journey through time as we traverse the historic pathways from Tbilisi to the heart of Armenia. Our tour, aptly named "Heritage Pathways," promises an immersive exploration of the rich cultural tapestry woven between these ancient lands.

Our adventure commences in the vibrant city of Tbilisi, where the echoes of centuries past reverberate through its cobbled streets and towering cathedrals.

Here, you'll have the opportunity to wander through its lush forests, visit the historic Sharambeyan Street, and immerse yourself in the timeless rhythms of village life.

Continuing our journey, we'll make our way to the breathtaking Lake Sevan, one of the largest high-altitude lakes in the world. Nestled amidst the majestic mountains of the Caucasus, Lake Sevan is a sight to behold, with its shimmering waters and tranquil shores offering a serene retreat from the bustle of city life. Explore the medieval Sevanavank Monastery perched on its shores, where ancient stone walls whisper tales of Armenia's spiritual heritage.

Our final destination is the ancient city of Yerevan, the capital of Armenia and a melting pot of cultures and traditions. From the majestic Cascade Complex to the bustling Vernissage Market, Yerevan is a treasure trove of architectural wonders and artistic delights. Explore the ruins of the ancient Erebuni Fortress, discover the rich collections of the Armenian National History Museum, or simply stroll through the city's verdant parks and bustling streets, soaking in the sights, sounds, and flavors of Armenian culture.
