Tour Snapshot
Overview
Mount Dimats (2,378 m) is one of the most striking peaks in Tavush — Armenia's greenest, most forested region. The jeep route climbs serpentine mountain roads from the village of Tekhut, offering views across the Ijewan rocky mountains.
The Shakhot Waterfall provides a refreshing break in nature with Eastern coffee. The highlight many guests enjoy most is horseback riding with experienced local guides through the lush green hills — terrain that has earned Tavush its nickname "Armenian Switzerland."
The summit rewards with mountain panoramas and the deep satisfaction of having reached one of northern Armenia's finest viewpoints.
