Jeep tour from Yerevan

Mount Dimats by UAZ

A 4×4 on the alpine meadows of Mount Dimats above the forests of Dilijan

Overview

Mount Dimats (2,378 m) rises above the forests of Dilijan National Park. The way up is a forest track driven in old Soviet army UAZ jeeps — the ride itself is an adventure.

At the top are alpine meadows and views of the wooded ridges of Tavush. On the way to Dilijan we stop at Sevanavank above Lake Sevan.
