DAY 1
In the morning meet your tour leader and other group participants for coffee and a briefing on the jeep trip ahead. Head to the south enjoying the fabulous views of biblical Mount Ararat. We soon get off the roads and travel by 4WD along the Hunter's Road, a great trail dressed in wildflowers.
DAY 2
Breakfast and proceed to explore the lush valley of Her-Her river. Our first stop will be at Shatin observation point where we have a chance to see bezoar goats on the opposite side of the gorge. The day offers a real off-the-beaten-path experience as we drive to Fortress of King Smbat, one of the best-preserved medieval citadels in Armenia.
DAY 3
Wake up to the call of hundreds of birds and enjoy your hot coffee. Head further south and on to Sisian. Follow the mountain tracks onto one of the unique wonders of the Caucasus, ancient rock paintings of Camel Mount. We steer our way up winding through this awe-inspiring mountain scenery, leave the rocks and alpine flowers behind but our efforts are well rewarded.
DAY 4
Early breakfast and head out to Selim. Drive through striking landscapes of jagged mountains and gorges, rivers and muddy roads. The road gradually climbs up over 2,410m in elevation following the historic Silk Route past Selim Caravanseray. This is one of the best places to see what fabled Silk Route looked like centuries ago.
DAY 5
Leave the splendor of Lake Sevan and head further north. A morning stop for fresh coffee at Tsakhadsor mountain resort, training ground for high altitude Olympic Games. Now it is time to hit the Honey Pass for a day full of adventures - unparalleled views as your jeep cruises through thick forests with dramatic gray rock cliffs soaring above you.
