Camminando su un appetito nelle montagne del Caucaso dell’Armenia | Holidays Armenia

> Armenia might not boast the number of towering peaks of neighbouring Georgia – and the awesomeness of mountains such as Ushba, Tetnuldi or Kazbek up close cannot be denied – but there are fewer trekkers setting off here, and the sense of adventure is often greater. I didn’t pass another walker on several longer hikes, and that is priceless if it is peace that you seek out on the hills.

This was rather insulting. So Georgia’s big draw are the “awesome” peaks, and Armenia’s big draw is that there aren’t many hikers?

Come on. Massive Lake Sevan at 2000m elevation is awesome. Debed Canyon? Awesome. View of Mt. Ararat popping up randomly as you navigate Yerevan, or from a large chunk of the country? A constant postcard.

The comparisons to Georgia that too many travel writers like to make often just don’t sit well with me.
