Overview

If you are a nature lover and are looking for new experiences and tastes, let’s go to Dilijan together to pick mushrooms. Dilijan is one of the most famous resort towns in Armenia, covered with forested mountains.

Dilijan National Park has many opportunities for active recreation. This time, let’s go deeper into the forest to collect mushrooms. An experienced guide will help us find and collect the healthiest and most delicious mushrooms in the depths of the forest. Time flies unnoticed in the forest. It seems that we have just entered the forest and several hours have already passed and it is time to return – we hope that by this time the buckets will be full of mushrooms.

After we collect the mushrooms, and these will most likely be the famous Dilijan oyster mushrooms, we will return to the city and the chef of one of the local authentic restaurants will teach us how to cook them correctly. As you may have guessed, we will have these mushrooms for dinner.

On this tour, you will not only take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city in the Dilijan forests, but also taste delicious and unique local dishes, and also visit several attractions in Dilijan and its surroundings.
