Silk Road to Yerevan

This is a full itinerary with a lot packed into 16 days. It is a good fit if you like busy cultural travel, guided site visits, regional food, meaningful local encounters and changing scenery. It is less ideal if you want long stretches of resort-style downtime.
The climate across Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia is generally mild, but mountain areas above 2000 meters can be much cooler than the cities. Bring layers, especially for the Caucasus sections around Gudauri, Stepantsminda and the higher monastery visits.
You should be comfortable walking through towns, historic sites, markets, monasteries and uneven stone areas. Supportive walking shoes are important, especially at places like Vardzia, where stairs, sandy surfaces and narrow passages require careful footing.
There are several longer road days. Treat them as part of the experience: the scenery changes constantly, and travel time is often when the group settles into its own rhythm.
When crossing from Azerbaijan into Georgia, you will need to carry or wheel your luggage for about 700 meters between customs areas. Keep your passport and required travel documents close at hand.
Some activities, including the high Caucasus excursion around Kazbegi, depend on weather and road conditions. Your leader will update the group if local conditions require a change.

Visa details are provided through Sherpa, a third-party service. The “Add connection” feature only shows transit visa requirements, not full entry visas. Additional service fees apply if you purchase a visa via Sherpa.

This tour uses comfortable hotels for most nights, plus two nights in a Feature Stay in Tbilisi. Accommodation names listed in the itinerary are examples or preferred properties and can change if rooms are not available. If a change is needed, a similar standard of accommodation will be used.
Hotels are asked to have rooms ready when the group arrives, especially after early arrivals, but check-in timing cannot always be guaranteed. If rooms are not ready, luggage can usually be stored so you can start exploring. On some trips, shared day rooms may be used until individual rooms become available.
