The mountainous country offers a variety of hiking options for everyone.

Armenia is unique: legends, myths, traditions, stories, scenes, and a sense of mystery. While traveling here, we meet places with beautiful names and stories. Suppose you want to be close to the legends. In that case, I recommend including Azhdahak, Aragats, and Khustup mountains in your to-do list, which will remain in your memory for a long time with their unusual beauty and captivating qualities. Most of the year, Azhdahak is covered with snow, and there is a beautiful crater lake. Among the most stunning mountains are Aragats, whose northern peak is the highest point in Armenia, and Khustup, which rises in Syunik. The phrase “be blinded by beauty” can only be understood in these mountains. I don’t know how to convey to you a piece of the magnificence of mountainous Armenia; again and again, I choose colors and shades in my mind, but to no avail. These are the places that are talked about silently, feeling. Camping clubs are in great demand for both foreigners and locals; I recommend Armenian Geographic (+37443 005165), ArmLand (+374 44 880058), North Peak mountain club (+37493850385), Trichq (+374 96 814211), Chanaparhord (+374 91 321211), Armenian Discovery (+374 94 113989) Hatis (+37493 554595) clubs. I’m also sharing with you the HikeArmenia (+374 11 445326 ) hiking app, ready-made routes with short descriptions. It’s convenient, and you don’t need money to download it; it’s free. You can also use the service of a mountain guide through the mobile application; all you have to do is choose the hike’s direction and difficulty.

  In 2018, CNN Travel compiled a list of the best trekking routes, including Armenia, which, according to the author, is home to some of the best trekking routes in Europe. The Transcaucasian Trail – an 11-day trek will allow you to get to know the best routes of Armenia and the Silk Road, which unites the UNESCO-protected Sanahin and Haghpat monastic complexes, passing through mountain trails and green through the forests, giving the opportunity to carry out a campaign in the Geghama mountains and overcome the height of Aragats.

 I’m also sharing two platforms: Shopme.am (Address: Hr. Kochar 7), through which you can fill in fewer tourist properties, and Camp.am (address Artsakh 1), where you can also rent the necessary equipment. Only those products that are in high demand are presented on the websites. You can get acquainted with the complete range by visiting the store.

If you’ve experienced paragliding, you know that every flight has unique memories, and you don’t need wings to fly. A few seconds and you appear 1000 meters above the ground. The panic also disappears after the 3rd minute of the flight. Indescribable, beautiful, and unrepeatable scenes open up from an unknown dimension.

It is difficult for me to share the feelings I experienced because they are very different for all jumpers. I lost track of time in the sky. I realized that a paraglider is like a bird in the sky. And, like anything, the sky has a character. It is often very kind and affectionate, but a careless and reckless attitude can change a lot. And if you “win the heart” of the sky, it will give countless and unrepeatable joys and moments.

To soar calmly at an altitude of 1000 meters, you can contact Sky Club Armenia (+37498055119) and Aero club -Armenia paragliding club (+37498002828). By paying 45-55.000 AMD (107.80-131.75 euros), the price includes transportation and shooting with a GoPro camera), you will enjoy every bit of the view that opens in front of you. Finally, you will breathe “freedom.” Almost every day, you can discover Armenia in all its beauty, but it is more beautiful from a bird’s eye.

If you are a lover of extreme, a fan of the beautiful, or a lover of tranquility, then cave trekking is for you. You should plan a cave trip at least once in your life. In the Vayots Dzor Marz, which is almost 2 hours away from Yerevan, you can visit several caves at once: Trchunneri, Areni-1 cave, or Magelin, one of the largest caves in Armenia, the beauty of which will remain in your heart for a long time. Caving expeditions in Armenia are carried out by Arm Speleo Team AST (+37495 597585), Armenian Speleo Club: Black Bat (+37477 966115) clubs.

Maybe that one time will become continuous, but if not, it will be an exciting experience, the likes of which you have never had, new feelings that only caves can cause.

If you like extreme sports and feel the taste of life by taking risks, we definitely include rope jumping in your trip. The Scream of Soul will familiarize you with the safety rules. Are you ready to jump? 20. 000 AMD (48 euros) per person, without transportation. The gorge called Dzhokkh Dzor, where the flights are carried out is close to Yerevan. By the way, the rocks here are also suitable for rock climbing; I know you are surprised, being a mountainous country, rock climbing is a newly developing branch here.
