Dubbed as the "Armenian Switzerland," Dilijan National Park boasts diverse ecosystems. This natural sanctuary unfolds a mosaic of dense forests, tranquil alpine meadows, and sparkling lakes. It's a biodiversity hotspot, home to over a thousand plant species and an array of wildlife, including deer, wolves, and brown bears. For birdwatching enthusiasts, the park offers a chance to observe species like woodcocks, quails, and golden eagles. Dilijan's charm extends to its historic monasteries and the picturesque town, where local artisans keep traditions alive. Our carefully curated itineraries offer a harmonious blend of structured exploration and spontaneous encounters with nature, ensuring an unforgettable journey into the heart of Armenia's wilderness.
Nestled within the park's lush greenery are the medieval monasteries of Goshavank and Haghartsin. These spiritual sites, with their intricate khachkars (stone crosses) and ancient architecture, echo the rich religious heritage of Armenia. Exploring them provides a serene retreat and offers insight into the country's profound Christian legacy set against the backdrop of pristine nature.
One of the park's hidden gems, Lake Parz is a crystalline body of water surrounded by verdant woods. Accessible through a picturesque hiking trail, the journey to the lake is as rewarding as the destination itself. Once there, engage in activities like paddle boating or simply bask in the tranquil ambiance, with only the gentle ripples of the lake and chirping birds for company.
Get a glimpse of historical Armenian urban life at the "Old Dilijan" complex. This meticulously restored area in the town of Dilijan mirrors 19th-century architecture, with cobbled streets, wooden balconies, and artisan shops. Interact with local craftsmen, watch them work, and even purchase unique handmade souvenirs, ensuring you take a piece of Dilijan's history with you.
For adrenaline seekers, Dilijan National Park offers thrilling mountain biking trails. Traverse varying terrains, from gentle paths to challenging off-roads, all while soaking in panoramic views of the park. As night falls, set up camp under a canopy of stars.
