Lake sevan in winter

Lake Sevan is the second highest freshwater lake in the world, after Lake Titicaca in South America. Archaeological excavations in the area revealed that the territory around Lake Sevan has been inhabited since the Neolithic and Bronze Ages. In ancient times, the lake was known as the Geghama or Gegharkunik Sea. The coastline of Sevan Lake is very picturesque with its thick woods, white bare steep rocks, mountain steppes and Alpine meadows, wide bright strip of sea-buckthorn and pine trees, and pebble beaches. This beautiful landscape is added with whipped clouds – they literally touch the snow-capped mountain tops. The territory around Sevan belongs to the National Park. One can't help admiring these breathtaking views. Besides, the mountain air there is always pure and fresh and comparable to sea breeze. The journey from Yerevan to lake Sevan takes approximately 1h 35m by mini shuttle from group tour which I purchased from trip.com.
