What to Expect

The sample uses Yerevan and Tbilisi as bases, with several longer excursions. Walking at heritage sites may involve steps and uneven ground; suitability should be assessed for the group rather than assumed from age.

The cross-border transfer, documentation requirements and travel times must be confirmed for the travel dates. Mountain visits depend on weather, road conditions and local transport arrangements. Site access, including the proposed David Gareja excursion, should be confirmed locally and alternatives discussed if needed.

Lavash baking, folk performances, hosted meals and wine tastings are options requiring confirmation. Accommodation locations and transport standards are agreed in the proposal.
