Overlanding Armenia // Dilijan National Park

Our first week in Armenia we ventured to Dilijan National Park, we explored some monasteries and took a trail to a hidden waterfall, met some new friends and explored more abandoned places.
Falling all the more in love with Armenia every day!

What a beautiful calm looking country. Really get to decompress there by the looks of it with all the good nights sleep.

[@PenelopetheTruck]

It truly is, you'll get to experience it soon too!

Fabulous video. Love country's like this. From the countryside to the distinctive buildings. Amazing to follow as always ❤

[@PenelopetheTruck]

Thank you, we're blown away by this place, we're doing our best to capture the beauty of the country but as ever, it just doesn't do it real life justice!

That was a cool Unimog at the monastery. All the abandoned places were cool to see and very photogenic. The waterfalls were very nice too.

[@PenelopetheTruck]

Thanks Andy, the Mog was a beast!

Like the abandoned holiday camp- looks just like Butlins at Skegness......

[@PenelopetheTruck]

[@robhughes4249]

[@PenelopetheTruck]

Also there are 30 something biodiversity hotspots in the world that have extraordinarily rich and diverse plants and animals and Armenia strattles two of the 34 which is the Caucasian and Anatolian biodiversity hotspots. It use to be sooo much richer with the largest tigers in tbe world, stripped hyenas, Cheetahs, and even lions among many other animals. From the big cats only the leopard remains.

[@metalfacemark]

The jackals remind me of the hyenas at night on mount kenya!

[@nashz911]

Would be Good when you could show us more about your Truck and any issues with it. Otherwise Enjoy

[@PenelopetheTruck]

Thanks Mark. What do you want to know about the truck? Fortunately, we've had zero issues with her so far, she's slow and steady and manages the hills well

[@nashz911]

No I mean in general, like others would be interested in overlanding but are unsure or don't know if a Daf is right for them, you don't have too, just a suggestion. Otherwise keep going, loving it.

[@PenelopetheTruck]

@@nashz911 it's a good suggestion, Craig does touch on the truck in the upcoming videos, but it is something we can build in! 🙂

Its funny you mentioned people will stop and give you a lift if they see you walking down a road, because when I visited Armenia after leaving a casino I decided to walk down the road and stop the first taxi I see, there are taxis everywhere, less than 10 minutes into walking some young kid stopped asked me if I need a ride I said sure he drove me back to Yerevan, we stopped at his friends music store where they burned music cds for me, all of us ended up going out that night and still keep in contact every now and then. People are very warm and friendly, and the country has a really low crime rate in a country of 3 million there are 30-40 homicides, there are cities in America with smaller population that have hundreds of homicides.
