Sevan Dream Trail
In the heart of Sevan National Park, the Sevan Dream Trail has quickly become a favorite for hikers, nature lovers, and local communities. Born from the 2024 "Trail Marking and Viewpoint Furnishing in Sevan National Park" initiative, this trail reflects what happens when education, conservation, and community come together.

The trail begins its journey at the Sevan Botanical Garden, where the lush greenery and serene surroundings invite all who venture here. From there, it weaves its way upward, guiding visitors through the majestic Arjanots Mountains, a tranquil segment of the Pambak mountain range. As you reach the summit, a breathtaking panorama unfolds - an endless stretch of Lake Sevan, shimmering like a jewel.

The trail’s opening was marked in July with a celebratory hike to the Dream Summit, bringing together tourism officials, local hiking club members and volunteers, community members, and the team from Trails For Change. What followed was a week of dedication and hard work: clearing the path, marking the route, and carefully shaping a trail that felt natural, welcoming, and safe. Every switchback, signpost, and stone placed was the result of true collaboration.

And then, the final touch - a simple wooden bench at the summit. From here, visitors can sit in stillness, taking in a panoramic view that includes the iconic Sevanavank Monastery, the vast waters of the lake, and the far-off peaks of the Argenuni Mountains. It’s the kind of view that stays with you long after you’ve come down from the mountain.
The project was co-financed within the framework of the Polish development cooperation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland․
