There are many reasons why autumn is considered to be the best time to travel to Armenia. Autumn in Armenia is fantastic with its colors and pleasant weather. In this season, the weather is not too cold and not too hot, averaging between +23 -+27 C. The smell of healthful fruits and vegetables and the vibrant colors of leaves make the autumn exciting.

In early October Armenian nature starts to transform and leaves on the trees turn yellow, red and brown creating a fairytale landscape. The weather is mild and warm, the sun is shining, however, there is no such unbearable heat as in summer and the rainy days are few. This time of the year you wouldn’t want to leave Armenia.

It is located in Tavush region, on the banks of Aghstev River and is surrounded with lush forests and mountains. In autumn all the nature here changes its colors and this cozy town turns into a fairy tale!
