When Is the Best Time for a Dilijan Tour?
The Dilijan tour from Yerevan is available throughout the year. Spring brings fresh greenery, summer is cooler than Yerevan, autumn fills the forests with bright colors, and winter gives the route a peaceful, snow-covered atmosphere.
Spring
In April and May, the forests become fresh and green. The weather is usually mild, although rain and cool mornings are possible.
Summer
Dilijan is usually cooler than Yerevan. It is a comfortable season for walking, visiting the monasteries and having lunch outdoors.
Autumn
September and October are especially good for photography. The forests turn yellow and red, while the number of visitors decreases.
Winter
Snow-covered forests and Haghartsin Monastery create a special atmosphere. The itinerary may be adjusted because of snow or icy roads.
Even in summer, Lake Sevan and the mountains of the Tavush region can be cooler than Yerevan. We recommend bringing a light jacket or windbreaker, and in winter, warm clothing and comfortable non-slip shoes.

Reaching Sevanavank requires climbing a flight of stairs, while Haghartsin has some uneven stone surfaces. If anyone in your group has limited mobility, we can adjust the duration of the stops and the itinerary.
What to Bring on the Dilijan Tour
No special preparation is required, but you should consider the climb to Sevanavank, the uneven stone surfaces at Haghartsin and the changeable weather around Lake Sevan and in the mountains.
Light Jacket
Lake Sevan and the mountain forests are often cooler than Yerevan, even during the warmer months.
Comfortable Shoes
You will climb stairs at Sevanavank and walk across uneven stone surfaces at the monasteries.
Drinking Water
A small supply of water is useful during the long drive and while walking along the route.
Weather Protection
Sun protection is useful in summer, while a compact raincoat or umbrella may be needed in spring and autumn.
If you would like to add Lake Parz, Goshavank Monastery or a longer walk in Dilijan, mention it when booking so that we can calculate the route duration in advance.
