Georgia & Armenia Explorer

With this 11-day adventure, you’ll travel overland from Georgia to Armenia and experience off-the-beaten-track landscapes and welcoming, local people. Wander the streets of 3000-year-old Kutaisi, see some iconic monasteries like Khor Virap and Sevanavank and leave the crowds to explore an abandoned Soviet spa town. Join a Molokan family for lunch to learn about their traditions, hike in search of medieval monasteries, meet local wine makers with two wine tastings in Georgia and Armenia, and try your hand at Dolma making with a local cooking demonstration. With a night on the shores of Lake Sevan and a range of diverse experiences that highlight the best of these two amazing destinations, you’ll be in for an adventure to remember. This trip spends limited time in Tbilisi at the start of the trip. You may want to consider arriving a few days earlier to make sure you are not missing out on everything that Tbilisi has to offer., Caucasus is very hilly and mountainous, which means lots of steps are an inherent feature of the landscape. You will have to be able to easily lift your luggage and carry it up and down stairs and inclines., You’ll spend a night at a local lodge where the facilities will be simple and shared. Your support for the local NGO and the great location so close to Lake Sevan will more than make up for the lack of modern amenities and you’re sure to have a memorable stay., If you have more time to explore the region, consider starting your journey in Baku and discovering both Azerbaijan and Georgia’s renowned wine region, Kakheti.
