Tours of Armenia

With over 200 holidays to choose from, KE Adventure Travel has one of the very best collections of trekking and walking holidays worldwide. Graded on a scale from 1 to 12, we have holidays to suit everyone. Our tougher treks are likely to involve multi-day hikes through wilderness regions, with porter support and tented accommodation. Whilst at the other end of the scale, our softer walking holidays are more likely to be hotel or lodge-based with a day-walk format and an emphasis on uncovering the area's history, culture and cuisine. From our earliest days we've developed a range of treks that include celebrated classics such as Peru's Inca Trail trek, the ascent of Tanzania's Kilimanjaro and the ever popular Everest Base Camp trek in Nepal. Alongside these, we have always made it a priority to seek out distinctive and unique itineraries in less familiar areas such as Armenia, Cameroon, Madagascar and Burma. Whichever of our trekking or walking holidays you choose to undertake, you can be sure you'll enjoy breaking out of your day-to-day routine and exploring exotic landscapes on foot, with the chance to experience different cultures.

Armenia's Trekking Highlights

Sandwiched between Turkey, Georgia and Azerbaijan, the landlocked Republic of Armenia is one of Europe's most mountainous countries, 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 (4090m), we climb to its northern summit, the high point of the country, where the views extend to Mount Ararat in the nearby Turkish province of Eastern Anatolia.

Armenia has a reputation for greeting its visitors with warmth and hospitality. Nowhere is this truer than in Yerevan, one of the most ancient cities in the world, where we'll begin our tour before we head north to our horses.Words alone cannot express the natural beauty of the Tavush Region, which is teeming with rivers, lakes, and natural mineral springs. The rocky hillsides and flat peaks shrouded in the dense forests of the region give the north of Armenia its characteristic look.Turning back the clock, this region of Armenia bustled with activity as the Silk Road passed through this centre of monastic life and learning, with signs of this activity evident at the impressive monasteries that scatter the hillsides.
