Route to Dilijan and Aghavnatun Monastery

If you want to escape the summer heat of Yerevan for a while, consider the route to Dilijan and Aghavnatun Monastery.

Dilijan is often called the Armenian Switzerland. Even on hot days, it is cooler here than in the capital, with roads passing through dense forests and mountain landscapes.

The main highlight of the route is the Aghavnatun Monastery, hidden among the trees of the national park. There will also be special stops in places where no one will be disturbed by anything but the silence and nature.

In June, the forest around is especially beautiful: still bright green after spring, but already warm like summer.

A great idea for those who want to swap the city noise for mountain air, forest trails, and ancient Armenian architecture for a day.
