About Dilijan

Dilijan rises among forested mountains in Armenia, where monastery paths, clear air and traditional craft give the town a tranquil retreat in Tavush Province.

Green slopes and quiet lanes give Dilijan a restorative feel, with art studios and wood-fronted buildings adding a creative note.

Hiking in Dilijan National Park leads toward Lake Parz, while Haghartsin Monastery and Goshavank Monastery bring medieval architecture into the surrounding woodland. June through September suits time outdoors, and the Old Dilijan Complex places travelers near local food, including ghapama, khorovats and spas.
