A decent level of fitness and the ability to hike for 4-7 hours each day will see you all the way to the top.

On hiking days you will have lunch boxes provided with sandwiches, a salad and dessert (cookies, fruits etc). In restaurants you will have traditional Armenian dishes. These are generally meat-based meals, though vegetarians can be catered for if you let your host know in advance. Food allergies or other special dietary requirements can also be catered to.
Lamb, aubergine, yoghurt and bulgar wheat are all staples of Armenian diets. Armenian meze, served with the traditional bread called Lavash is a must. For desert be sure to try Baclava.

Explore Yerevan

Day 1

Head out of Yerevan for your first taste of the Armenian countryside. Stop off at Khor Virap Monastery for some sweeping mountain views and then have a traditional Armenian BBQ as you stare out at Eastern Turkey's enormous Mount Ararat - fabled resting place of Noah's Ark. Spend the afternoon hanging out with the bats as you explore the winding and narrow tunnels of the Magel and Areni 1 cave system.

The road to Spitakavor

Day 3

Hike along the Great Silk Road, the ancient network of trade routes that once connected East and West. Soak up the amazing views of the Caucasus mountains and the medieval fortress of Smbataberd, probably built for King Smbat II Tiezerakal, known as the Master of the Universe. Have a picnic lunch with gorgeous views of the Lower Caucasus Range and then carry on to the ancient trading post of Selim Caravanserai.End the day with a well deserved dip in Lake Sevan, the second highest fresh water lake in the world – a whopping 1900m above sea level.

Day 4

Begin the day flying over a 300m deep canyon on a vertigo-inducing zip line. For anyone who isn’t keen on heights, you can swap this for horse riding for a small extra cost, just speak to your guide. Back on the ground, hike into an unspoilt and rugged part of Armenia - considered one of the nation's best kept secrets, passing through a dense forest and a deep gorge into a large and picturesque meadow region of the Caucasus foothills. After dinner, help set up camp for the night and sleep beneath the peak of Mount Aragats.

Ride the Zip-line

Day 5

Walk to Kari Lake and then climb to the top of Mount Aragats. All going to plan, you’ll have lunch on the summit looking down on all of Armenia and deep into neighbouring Turkey. Descend down the mountain to the campsite, pack up and head back to Yerevan, the last stop on your Armenian adventure.
