Guided Armenia Motorcycle Tour, Caucasus

Armenia enduro tour: your Armenia motorcycle tour starts in Yerevan and takes you for eleven days through Caucasus passes, monasteries and along Lake Sevan. An English-speaking guide and a support vehicle for luggage accompany the entire tour. The ride is on a Yamaha XT660 on mixed on/off-road terrain, intermediate difficulty. After arriving at Zvartnots Airport and the transfer to the hotel, day two begins the actual Armenia motorcycle tour via Garni, Geghard and the slopes of Aragats. The route leads stage by stage to the south of the country.

Highlights

Geghard and Garni

On day two of your Armenia motorcycle tour, you reach the 12th-century cave monastery of Geghard and the pagan temple of Garni. This Armenia off-road tour combines cultural heritage with gravel stretches on the way into the mountains near Yerevan.

Aragats and Lake Kari

The slopes of Mount Aragats (4,090 m) and Lake Kari at over 3,000 m rank among the highlights of the approach days. The Yamaha XT660 enduro climbs rough tracks before the route continues toward Byurakan for the overnight stop.

Along Lake Sevan and over the Vardenyants Pass (Selim), this Lake Sevan motorcycle tour stage is one of the finest. A 14th-century caravanserai on the old Silk Road invites a brief stop with mountain views.
