Dilijan National Park, National park in Tavush Region, Armenia.

Dilijan National Park is a protected area in northeastern Armenia with forests, mountains, and natural mineral springs across different elevations. The terrain includes steep hillsides and valleys with numerous trails that connect various habitats throughout the landscape.

The reserve was created in 1958 from the former Dilijan and Kuybishev forest enterprises. In 2002 it became a national park, with its territory unchanged. The new status reflected the need for commercial activity, the presence of settlements including Dilijan town and its mineral water resorts, and the Yerevan-Ijevan railway crossing the whole area.

Medieval Armenian monasteries like Haghartsin, Goshavank, and Jukhtak Vank sit scattered within the forested areas, showing how monks shaped this land over centuries. Visitors walk among these sites and see how stone structures blend with the surrounding landscape.

Visitors can explore multiple ecosystems on numerous hiking trails, with many routes passing through forests and over ridge tops. It is best to wear proper footwear and prepare for changing weather depending on the season.

The park's rarest tree is the yew, a Tertiary relict. The Akhnabat yew grove in the Getik basin was made a reservation in 1958 and is the largest of its kind in the Transcaucasus; a second, smaller yew stand grows in the Frolova Balka gorge of the Pambak Mountains, noted by botanist N. Troitski in 1939.
