We have had great news recently.
Our Tatev-Kapan trail was tested. And it worked. Travellers from Germany Eric Heinz and his daughter Liz hiked from Tatev to Kapan, staying the first night at B&B in Aghvani village, the second night at ARK camp "The Dach" in Arajdzor village and reached ARK Kapan Camp on the third day of their hike. We are really excited, because they liked the experience very much. Tatev - Kapan trail now tested is waiting for travellers. Now ARK is working to find more B&B partners in Aghvani or Tandzaver villages, for bigger groups to stay and we are also looking for a partner in one of the villages to organize a camp site for those who travel with their tents.
That is what Eric writes in Lonely Planet travelers forum.
"From Tatev we did a 3-day hike to Kapan following a trail suggestion by ARK Armenia (see www.arkarmenia.com), a small but active NGO working on developing ecotourism in the Kapan area, and a useful address for travelers anyway. One night we spend in a villagers house, the others in camps provided by ARK. We stayed 2 days in Kapan doing some local hiking trails."
