Armenian Highlands
We spent five or six days walking a section of the Trans Caucasian Trail starting from Dilijan. This section passed through Dilijan National Park and, with a slight diversion at the end, visited three notable medieval monasteries: Goshavank, Sanahin and Hagphat. It had some good ups and downs but spent a lot of time around 2000 meters, where seasonal settlements of shepherds raise sheep, cattle and horses, and cut and dry straw for the harsh Armenian winter. A GAZ-66, a common utility vehicle of Soviet design, on the TCT between Dilijan and Sanahin, Armenia.
