This segment connects the village of Vachagan to Baghaburj – the start of the trail to Khustup
When you reach the paved road, turn left and follow the red and white markings on the pipelines. This section is quite exposed to the sun so be prepared to sweat!
After 15m hike on paved road, you take a right according to the sign. In the gorge follow the sign that will bring you to an old bridge where you cross the river. Go left following the signs. |
Located about 20 minutes down the hill from this intersection, you will find the Kapan Camp, ARK's first ecocamp, constructed in the spring of 2015. The ecocamp sits atop a hill and offers wonderful views of Kapan and the surrounding valley! It offers a proper bathroom, with faucet and toilet, shower, kitchen area with dishes & camping stove, permaculture gardens, four mini cabins and space for 10 tents. It is a 20-minute walk (1.5 km) from the heart of Kapan, but is still far enough removed to feel surrounded by nature. This is next to Kapan’s epic war monument.
