Yerevan, Lake Sevan and the Tatev hills
Eleven days from Yerevan pink-stone avenues and Cascade belvederes through Garni temple plateau light and Geghard cave-monastery hush, then north to Lake Sevan azure shelves and Dilijan forest monastery lanes, south across Syunik ridges to Goris stone hush and Tatev Wings cable silence above the Vorotan gorge, maybe Sisian and Khor Virap Ararat-edge light before a soft return to the capital. Hotel wallbox and city DC in Yerevan and Dilijan where present; highland and gorge coverage is thinner — cool battery, daylight mountain legs, careful state of charge, unhurried highland and monastery rhythm.
Season: Best May to June and September to early October. Winter snow can close high Syunik and Sevan shoulders; summer heat is strong on the Ararat plain. Book overnight hotel wallbox in Yerevan, Dilijan and Goris when you can. Charge before Sevan, Tatev and long Syunik hops — cool battery, daylight mountain departure; coverage outside the capital is thinner. Keep a careful state of charge on gorge and highland legs.
