Three stops and the distances
OSRM routing from Republic Square, 23.10.2026:
| Stop | Km | OSRM time | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tsaghkadzor | 57 | 55 min | mountain resort |
| Sevanavank | 69 | 65 min | monastery on a peninsula of Lake Sevan |
| Dilijan | 97 | 93 min | town in the forest |
These are times with no traffic or stops, so plan for more. Dilijan, the furthest point, is over an hour and a half of pure driving from central Yerevan, and the same back.

Day trip or overnight
The loop in a day
Start early: Tsaghkadzor, then Sevanavank, then Dilijan and back to Yerevan. It is a full day with little time at each stop. You need the car for one day.
Overnight in Dilijan
Day one Tsaghkadzor and Sevan, evening in Dilijan, a morning walk and the drive home. Two days of rental, but no rush. See hotels in Dilijan.
Overnight by the lake
If you want sunrise over Sevan, sleep there and leave Dilijan for day two. See hotels in Sevan.
Just Tsaghkadzor
The nearest of the three works for a short outing too. Where to stay: hotels in Tsaghkadzor.
Which car for a group
A car's age affects the price less directly than you might think. Median daily price in the GetRentacar sample on 23.10.2026 by model year:
| Model year | Cars in sample | Median per day |
|---|---|---|
| up to 2010 | 14 | 6,747 ₽ |
| 2011-2016 | 22 | 7,755 ₽ |
| 2017-2020 | 25 | 5,331 ₽ |
| 2021 and newer | 10 | 10,448 ₽ |
The 2017-2020 group is both the largest and the cheapest by median. For four or five people with overnight bags, look at minivans: the sample had a Toyota Alphard 2007 at 5,568 ₽, a Nissan Quest 2012 at 7,813 ₽ and a Kia Carnival 2022 at 11,949 ₽ per day.
34 of the 71 cars were marked "no deposit". On a two-day trip that helps, since no money is held for both days. Still confirm the terms with the owner in writing.
If you are thinking of moving
Plenty of people consider Dilijan and Tsaghkadzor as places to live: quieter than Yerevan and between one hour and 1 h 35 min from the capital by OSRM. A weekend trip is a good way to get a feel for them. Hotels for the first nights are in our guide, and for a flat in Yerevan send a request or browse apartments for rent.
