Weather, Food, and Things to Do<\/strong><\/p>\n

August in Dilijan means shifting weather, a forest full of fruit, and good food to match. There are also trails for every pace, and a packed calendar of festivals this month. Here’s a quick rundown of the essentials.<\/p>\n

Weather<\/h2>\n

The average temperature this month is around 19\u00b0C. Daytime highs reach 24\u201326\u00b0C, but evenings bring a sharp drop to 12\u201314\u00b0C \u2014 pack a light jacket or a warm sweater if you’re planning an evening walk. Short summer showers happen occasionally, though they rarely get in the way of plans. Dilijan sits at about 1,500 meters, so it stays cool even in peak summer, especially in rooms without heating. From mid-month, it gets dark noticeably earlier \u2014 around 8:30 PM instead of July’s 9:40 PM \u2014 so it’s worth planning evening routes a little earlier.<\/p>\n

What’s in Season<\/h2>\n

What’s ripening in the forest and fields right now<\/p>\n

Blackberries<\/h3>\n

Look for them along the trail to Parz Lake and near Jukhtak Vank \u2014 wild and thorny, which is why they taste so sweet.<\/p>\n

Raspberries<\/h3>\n

Catch the last berries of the season before the bushes empty out.<\/p>\n

Peaches and plums<\/h3>\n

The last month of the season \u2014 they’ll be gone by September.<\/p>\n

Grapes and cornel cherries<\/h3>\n

They start appearing mid-month, but the real peak comes in September.<\/p>\n

Forest and chestnut honey<\/h3>\n

August is a busy month for Tavush beekeepers \u2014 they’re harvesting right now.<\/p>\n

On the Table<\/h2>\n

What’s on the menu in Dilijan this month<\/p>\n

Trout from mountain rivers<\/h3>\n

It’s on almost every menu this month \u2014 grilled or in kchuchi, a traditional fish stew.<\/p>\n

Tolma with young grape leaves<\/h3>\n

The last batch of the season \u2014 the leaves toughen up after this.<\/p>\n

Khashlama with late-summer vegetables<\/h3>\n

Peppers, eggplant, tomatoes \u2014 in this climate, they ripen more slowly than down in the valley.<\/p>\n

Trails and Formats<\/h2>\n

Trails to match however much time you have \u2014 from an hour to a full day<\/p>\n

\u054a\u0561\u0580\u0566 \u056c\u056b\u0573<\/h3>\n

Shaded almost the entire way. Good for a full day in the forest.<\/p>\n

Goshavank\u2013Haghartsin loop<\/h3>\n

Half a day<\/p>\n

With a stop at the monastery walls. Good for anyone who wants architecture and cooler air \u2014 it’s about 5\u00b0C cooler there than in town.<\/p>\n

Jukhtak Vank<\/h3>\n

About an hour<\/p>\n

Forest, without a three-hour hike.<\/p>\n

Horseback ride across the meadows<\/h3>\n
