Yes, and this is one of the most popular ways to use Daytrip on this route. The road from Yerevan passes close to several notable sites. Sevanavank Monastery on the shores of Lake Sevan is a natural stop on the way, and the lake itself is worth a short pause. Your driver knows the region well and can help you plan a logical route so the stops flow naturally without backtracking, turning a simple transfer into a guided circuit of northern Armenia's highlights.
Dilijan is approximately 100 km (62 miles) from Yerevan, and the drive through the Haghartsin mountain road takes around 1.5 to 2 hours each way. Public transport options exist but involve changes and unpredictable schedules that eat into your day. A Daytrip private transfer picks you up from your door, drops you directly in Dilijan, and collects you whenever you're ready â no timetables, no shared minibuses, no wasted time at a bus station.
Dilijan is one of the most rewarding day trips from Yerevan. A full day gives you enough time to walk the cobblestoned Sharambeyan Street in Old Dilijan, visit one of the nearby medieval monasteries, and spend time in the national park. The town is compact and easy to navigate on foot, so you won't feel rushed. If you want to row out on Parz Lake and still explore the old town, start early and you'll cover it all comfortably.
Three highlights stand out. Haghartsin Monastery, hidden in a forested valley just outside town, is a 12th-century complex that feels genuinely removed from the modern world. Parz Lake, about 7 km (4 miles) from Dilijan, is a serene alpine lake ideal for a rowboat or a lakeside walk. Back in town, Sharambeyan Street in Old Dilijan is a beautifully preserved enclave of traditional Armenian architecture, artisan workshops, and a small museum â closer to a living cultural exhibit than a typical tourist street.
Most of Armenia's iconic sites are ancient ruins or arid highland landscapes. Dilijan offers something different: dense forest, mountain air, and a town that has actively preserved its artisan culture rather than simply museum-ifying it. The national park surrounding the town covers over 240 sq km (93 sq miles) of protected woodland, making it the greenest and most alpine-feeling corner of the country. It earned the nickname "Little Switzerland" not as a marketing slogan but because the landscape genuinely surprises visitors who expect the dry plateau of central Armenia.

Daytrip drivers assigned to this route are local professionals familiar with both the town and the surrounding national park. They can tell you which monastery trail is worth the walk, where Parz Lake is best accessed, and which spots on Sharambeyan Street are worth your time. You're not dropped off with a map â you have someone who knows the area and can answer questions throughout the day. If you want to be left to explore independently, that works too; your driver will simply be ready when you are.
