Transcaucasia 2006.
Just a couple of days before departing to the transcaucasian republics I set this blog where you'll able to follow my trip.
On Friday Sept 1st I will depart to tbilisi on my second trip to the region.
The aim of the trip is:
- To visit Armenia again: I discovered Armenia on 2003 but I coudn't visit lots of places and I focused on sight around Erevan. On this trip I wish to visit the south, Lake Van region and alaverdi monasteries (on Unesco world heritage list).
- Try to get into Karabakh: Karabakh is an Armenian region within oficial Azeri border. Righ now it is an independent country recognized only in Armenia since there was a war on the early 90 for its independences from Azerbajan. Nowadays there is an state of no war no peace, with a cease of fire which has already last for more than a decade.
- Discover Georgia: On 2003 I crossed the country in less than 36 hour on my way to Armenia from Turkey. It was enought to know the country worthed a visit. On this trip I'll focuse on the central and western parts of the country. The eastern-most part of the country will be on another trip, still I do not know when, but probably convined with Azerbaijan.
- A little bit of mountaneering. Georgia is surrounded by the caucasus range. I should try to climb some peak, shoudn't I? Mt Kazbeg (5.033m) has been choosed. Will I get to the summit????
