Dilijan National Park
National park · Armenia — Dilijan & Lesser Caucasus
Forested hills in Tavush Province, 240 sq km of oriental beech, Caucasian oak and hornbeam that locals call 'Armenia's Switzerland' for the fog that settles into the valleys. September and October bring the best hiking conditions, the canopy turning orange around 19th-century monasteries on the hillsides.
