From Yerevan: Lake Sevan, Yazidi Villages & Molokan Tour

Discover Armenia's cultural diversity on a day trip from Yerevan. Visit Yazidi villages, explore a Molokan settlement, and drive along the shores of Lake Sevan.
Begin your journey by departing from Yerevan and heading toward the shores of Lake Sevan, often called the “Blue Pearl of Armenia.” Surrounded by mountain landscapes, Sevan provides the perfect introduction to Armenia’s natural beauty.

Continue across the picturesque Semenov Pass, one of the most scenic mountain roads in the country. At an elevation of more than 2,100 meters, the pass offers sweeping views of alpine meadows, forests, and distant mountain ranges.

Arrive in the villages of Armenia’s Yazidi community. The Yazidis are an ancient ethno-religious people whose traditions have survived for centuries despite persecution and displacement. Armenia today hosts one of the largest Yazidi communities in the world. Through visits to local villages and the monumental Yazidi Temple, gain insight into their beliefs, customs, and everyday life.

The journey continues to a Molokan settlement established by Russian spiritual Christians exiled to the Caucasus during the Russian Empire. Here, discover a different chapter of Armenia’s multicultural history. Traditional wooden houses, local stories, and preserved customs offer a glimpse into a unique community that has maintained its identity for generations.

Throughout the day, stunning landscapes, authentic encounters, and fascinating stories combine to reveal an Armenia that most visitors never see.
