The aim of the article is to present the reality that life and real circumstances did not give the great Armenian poet Hovhannes Tumanyan the opportunity to travel simply to see new worlds. Almost all of the poet’s travels were primarily conditioned by a high national mission defined from above and consciously chosen, the consolidation of which is the most important task of our speech. To achieve the goal, we have set ourselves the following tasks: to study the scientific and memoir literature related to the topic and present a map of Tumanyan’s travels, indicating their purposeful and substantive fundamentals, and to emphasize the perfect realizations of the poet’s human character, artistic thinking, and talent during his travels. In conducting the examination, we used historical-comparative, juxtapositional, analytical methods. The continuous process of interpreting and evaluating human values, in particular the historiography of the study of Tumanyan's life and work, brings about the need to revise questions and standards, which is conditioned by the questions posed by the current state of the 21st century, changes in objective and subjective circumstances. At the end of the article, we concluded that Tumanyan's travels, interwoven with each other in a chronological sequence, form an exclusive framework of the poet's biographical trajectory and earthly time, which was then to continue in the realm of cosmic infinity and supra-earthly time. Each of the travels has outlined in a new color the inimitable image of Tumanyan, a devoted Armenian and a national self-sacrificing figure, revealed his thinking and outlook on life, the nourishing source of spiritual creations.
