IMPORTANT NOTICE: This is meant to be a "free and easy" budget adventure trip. Participants should be relatively fit, with a good sense of humor, and above all, have the right attitude for close travel with others through possibly some trying times. Most definitely, this is not a trip for prudes, whiners, fuss-pots, and other similarly assorted types! We had a couple of those before and it wasn't pleasant for us or them. Although every effort will be made to stick to the given itinerary, ground conditions may change and cause some disruption and/or deviation from the norm. Otherwise, have fun!

PLEASE DO NOTE THIS TRIP IS A MIX OF TREKKING/HIKING AND SIGHTSEEING.DIFFICULTY LEVEL OF THE TREKKING/HIKING IS EASY TO MODERATE.

With a recorded history of 3600 years, Armenia is one of the world’s oldest civilization. Today’s Armenia retain lots of its old world charm amidst the road to modernity. Thankfully its nature remains lovely and pristine. Shall we?In Greek mythology, Georgia was home of the Golden Fleece. Today a more spirited fame is wine, and with samples found dating 6000 years, it is apt to be called the “Cradle of Wine”. Whatever, we will enjoy Georgia’s mountains, dances, good food and of course great wine…and brandy!
