03 — THE EXPERIENCE
What you're signing up for
Who this is for
Travellers after a structured, active itinerary combining multiple outdoor disciplines across Armenia's landscapes — comfortable with long hiking days, sustained e-biking at altitude, and changing terrain across gorge, highland and forest environments. Minimum age 15.
Journey type
A multi-sport expedition combining:
Aerial experiences — balloon flight and paraglidingActive mountain days — e-biking to 2,400 mCultural immersion — monasteries, lavash masterclass, highland villages
What makes it unique
The expedition moves through three radically different environments in six days — the urban culture and volcanic basalt gorges of the capital, the aerial experiences of the Armenian highlands, and the dense ancient forests of the Tavush region. Few itineraries in the South Caucasus combine a structured aerial programme, a high-altitude e-bike expedition, and a remote gorge descent within a single coherent route.
