Amberd, Kari Lake, Saghmosavank & Alphabet Alley
A fuller Aragatsotn route with fortress views, a mountain lake, canyon-side monastery scenery, and the Armenian Alphabet Monument.
This route gives a broader western-Armenia day than the shorter Amberd option because it adds the canyon atmosphere of Saghmosavank and turns the day into a more complete loop.
It suits travelers who want both mountain scenery and architecture, with less time on the road than the south and north combination routes.
