The Forests of Armenia

(update 2003)

North Armenia, along with the deep south, is the most pristine and lush area of the country. Both are also steeped in Armenia's Medieval history. Native forests still roam hills and mountains, and it is easy to lose oneself in the dense undergrowth, mesmerized by the abundant flora (2500 species in Siunik alone) and fauna, including 2/3rds of Eurasia's bird species. Lodging is rustic, home stays and village guest houses are the way to go to savor a sense of aloneness in nature while cradling the comfort of family.
