ITINERARY

Transcaucasian Trail Armenia

Our Transcaucasian Trail tour is a special lifetime journey one will have a chance to enjoy. The most incredible landscapes, beautiful and healing atmosphere, hospitable locals – all these you will experience when hiking across the most beautiful piece of Transcaucasian Trail. The treks lead you through peaceful yet breathtaking forests, magnificent mountains and rivers. Camping at Gosh and Parz (Crystal) Lakes helps you reconnect with nature and appreciate its divine beauty.

Day 1 - Arrival in Yerevan

Day 2 - Dilijan

Dilijan
Your hiking adventure through the Transcaucasian Trail starts with a trip to Dilijan. Through a picturesque perfect route of the “Drunken Forest” you will enjoy the wilderness feel, although being very close to civilization. The abundance of tall and slanted pine trees makes the atmosphere of this place magical. The “Rotonda” monument on the way to Pines will add some mysticism with its appearance of abandoned historical building ruins, half-reclaimed by nature. After reaching the city center, you will stroll in town discovering its cozy streets and enjoying the atmosphere. Visit Dilijan Visitor Information Center for some spectacular details about the city and Dilijan National Park for various activities. Enjoy a short cycling around the town, perhaps a short stop by the “Verev Rope Park”.

Monica Garcia Bringas

Tatev was always beyond expectations. Personally, she really helped me with my eVisa on arrival at the airport, not only filling the online request, but following up with the ministry for extra fast approval.
For our Guide in Dilijan, he also went extra, for explaining everything, really getting g to know our needs, made us have unique memories and local knowledge, like the lunch with local people, sharing food and getting us to innique spots.
