For those of you who have seen some of Armenia’s highlights during a bus or car tour, and would like to get a more closeup and in-depth experience, here are some great options: http://www.vayable.com/users/5585?locale=en

Dmitry is a young Russian who has spent over half a year hiking and exploring in Karabakh.  This site has 3 of his Karabakh tours (even though one of them is mistakenly labeled Armenia).  He’s been leading hiking and horseback tours all over Karabakh and Karvachar – which is an area of incredible beauty, and a remoteness that makes it really special.  His knowledge of the area and experience is truly impressive, and his enthusiasm is obvious just from his website.

His main site, Mazzoniguide.com is in Russian, but even if you don’t understand Russian you can enjoy the many photos on his blog there.  And if you want to see even more, check out his Mazzoniguide Facebook page, where you can contact him directly.  He can no doubt customize a trip to whatever you’re looking for.  Personally, I think he should offer an esh-back tour as a standard option…

Anyone interested in hiking in Karabakh this May or early June who would like to help mark the Janapar trail, should join the Do the Janapar! Facebook group and get in touch as well.
