Lake Sevan is located in the centre-east of Armenia at an altitude of almost 2,000 metres above sea level, and is the country’s largest lake. The lake’s one island is home to a medieval monastery.
Around Lake Sevan rock sparrow, mountain chiffchaff and both citrine and black-headed wagtails are among the numerous exciting possibilities.
To the north-west of Lake Sevan, on the slopes of the Tsaghkunyats Mountains, there’s an opportunity to see Caucasian black grouse, mountain chiffchaff and perhaps even green warbler, along with other mountain meadow birds such as water pipit.
On the way down to Dilijan, mountain chiffchaffs may be seen in the woods.
This tour combines Armenia’s remarkable diversity of landscape and habitat, a taste of its unique culture, and an opportunity to see demoiselle cranes on their autumn passage. We also aim to see a wide variety of other birds in this Transcaucasus country, including migrant raptors and passerines. Find out more about Armenia’s Wildlife & History
