June 16, 2021 Renato Branum

Dilijan (Armenian: Դիլիջան), is a spa town and urban municipal community in the Tavush Province of Armenia. Usually called Armenian Switzerland or Little Switzerland by the locals, it is one of the most important resorts of Armenia, situated within the Dilijan National Park. The forested and reclusive town is home to numerous Armenian artists, composers, and filmmakers and features some traditional Armenian architecture. The Sharambeyan street in the centre, has been preserved and maintained as an "old town", complete with craftsman's workshops, a gallery and a museum. Hiking, mountain biking, and picnicking are popular recreational activities.

Lake Parz

Reviewed By mikegO5244DL - Beirut, Lebanon

After driving for about 30 minutes through the fabulous forests of Dilijan, we reached Lake Parz with my wife and 2 children. It is a small lake, surrounded by trees with activities like rowing, a zip line across the lake and tree top challenges. We tried and enjoyed all of them. You can rent as small canoe for 2000 AMD (about 4$) and row all across the lake for 30 minutes. There are a lot of things to do, small snacks to feed you and amenities. We spent a few hours there and were sorry to leave. Our only consolation was the fact that we had to go back the same way we came - through the 'enchanted forest'.

Jukhtakvank Monastery

Reviewed By GurgenA2

If you like hiking you should not miss this. If you are not disabled and have extra two-three hours in Dilijan do hike up. It is extremely easy hike - totally worth the efforts. Jukhtakvank is a complex of two small chapels hidden in the mountainous forest. You can take a car towards the direction of Mineral Water Factory along the river Bildan to the very end, and hike up from there.
