Armenia Travel Guide

Known affectionately as "Little Switzerland" Dilijan's Old Town boasts beautiful buildings in a tranquil setting.

Located in the North East of Armenia, the Tavush Province is known for its rolling mountains interspersed with steep, limestone bluffs.

Nestled amidst the forests of Dilijan, this monastery was originally built as a school in the 12th century to replace an older monasterial building, Nor Getik. One of the key players in the build was a statesman called Mkhitar Gosh, after whom the monastery and in turn, the village it looked over, were named.

In 2017, Haghartsin monastery was incorporated into the Transcaucasian Trail trekking route. Perched at the top of a densely vegetated valley above Dilijan, this monastery was completed in the mid 13th century and houses a 16 faced dome atop it's architectural prowess.
