Description
Six days away from the usual routine — with mountains, new places, outdoor activities and great Armenian food. Restart in Armenia is designed for travelers who do not want to choose between a sightseeing journey and an active escape into nature, but would rather combine both.
The first part of the journey heads south through Vayots Dzor, Goris and Tatev, before continuing across Armenia’s mountain regions towards Lake Sevan, Dilijan and Yenokavan.
In Yenokavan, the sightseeing pace gives way to outdoor adventure, with horseback riding, ziplining, rock climbing and a hike to the Lastiver caves and waterfalls. Armenian cuisine, a local winery, artisan cheeses and scenic mountain roads add another dimension to the journey.
Restart in Armenia is six active days in which a journey across the country gradually turns into a real escape among forests and mountains.
