Gosh Lake, Armenia

The small, picturesque Lake Gosh, surrounded by lush, dense forests, is located in the heart of Dilijan State Reserve.

It received its name from the village of the same name, which, in its turn, bears the name of the famous medieval writer and outstanding public figure Mkhitar Gosh (XII-XIII century).

The beautiful nature of this cozy paradise has made Lake Ghosh a favorite destination for tourists and locals. People often come here for picnics.

The nature of Lake Gosh is especially beautiful in early autumn when the foliage of trees becomes golden yellow and is reflected in the mirror surface of the lake, and the weather is dry and sunny.

By the way, there are many attractions not far from the lake that is within walking distance.
