Armenia's Trekking Highlights Overview

Walking and exploring in Armenia, including the highest peak Mt Aragats

Armenia is one of Europe's most mountainous countries and this walking holiday in Armenia promises a veritable kaleidoscope of culture, history and great trekking. We start our excellent itinerary with a visit to several medieval monasteries, hiking on rugged trails between these fine examples of Armenian architecture and stopping off at mountain villages and on the shore of the vast Lake Sevan. After this splendid cultural introduction, we cross the Geghama Mountains on a 4-day trek that sees us hiking through flower-spangled meadows to the volcanic crater lakes on the summit of Mount Azhdahak (3597m). Then, transferring to a high camp on Mount Aragats, the high point of the country, where the views extend to Mount Ararat in the nearby Turkey. We climb to the southern summit on a long days walk, before return to Yerevan for our last night.
