Where To Go in August

This journey is taken mostly by electric bike with some walking.

For cycling we use front suspension hybrid electric bikes. Cycling sections are 30 – 55 kms, mostly on smooth, quiet tarmac roads. We are cycling through hilly valleys so there are a few steep hills, both up and down. Some tracks have sections that require good balance due to loose gravel. A moderate level of cycling fitness and an ability to cycle up and downhill is required, but this journey is suitable for almost all levels of cyclist.

On foot, the walks take up to two hours, on occasionally uneven terrain with hilly sections.

The journey has the potential for flexibility. There are different route options each day and the precise split between road and off-road depends on the ability and confidence of the group.

This journey is taken mostly by electric bike with some walking.

For the cycling we use full suspension electric mountain bikes because of the variety of terrain. Cycles are between 30 – 60 kms on a mix of old and newly surfaced roads, gravel roads and meadows. Some tracks can be tricky for those without experience due to loose gravel, broken tarmac and potholes. These can require concentration and become tiring, especially going downhill. Armenia is hilly so we will have a few steep climbs and descents. You’ll need good balance and moderate cycling fitness. Our guides are on hand to help with any tricky sections and we have plenty of time to take it slow.

On foot, each of the hikes are up to 10 kms. There are steep up and downhill sections on tracks and grass. A moderate level of fitness is required.
