Our Caucasus holidays & tours

If you want to travel between the Black Sea and the Caspian, you’ll find the Caucasus region, home to the highest peak in Europe, blocking your way. Hiking over high meadows with beautiful alpine backdrops is just one of many reasons to join our Caucasus holidays. Routes are extensive and range from easy to challenging, whilst overnight mountain camps and white-water rafting offer distinctly different perspectives of life above the valleys. Alternatively, join one of our multi-country tours, taking in cities, villages and monasteries while journeying through Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan. Our Caucasus holidays don’t just feature trails, but tales – of the diverse cultures that live here. And by visiting villages and communities on our trips you’ll be putting money into rural areas, directly in the hands of local people.

Caucasus map & highlights

The Caucasus region stretches between the Black Sea to the west and the Caspian Sea to the east and was recreated after the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991. Former Soviet states that make up the Caucasus include Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan, which sit to the south and southwest of the Russian republics of Chechnya, North Ossetia and Dagestan. The disputed region of South Ossetia is inside Georgia, and is linked to North Ossetia by the Roki Tunnel, which runs through the Greater Caucasus. Although the EU, NATO and most  of the UN don't recognise South Ossetia as an independent state, Russia does, and so does Nicaragua.
Armenia

1. Armenia

As the entirety of Armenia is in the South Caucasus, the capital, Yerevan, offers an excellent first glimpse at life on the Europe-Asia border with Etchmiadzin Cathedral, Geghard Monastery and Lake Sevan all within an hour’s drive. The spa town of Dilijan is an ideal stopover before heading into Georgia with nearby monasteries and Dilijan National Park both providing distant views over the Middle Caucasus.
Azerbaijan

2. Azerbaijan

Extending travels from Armenia or Georgia into Azerbaijan allows you to explore the Caucasus Mountains to their most easterly point on the Absheron Peninsula, with mud volcanoes, saline lakes and the Caspian Sea all to be found after tours of Old Baku. Azerbaijan’s capital is a real delight for cultural travellers and the UNESCO-listed Stone Age engravings at Gobustan National Park are around an hour’s drive away.
Chechnya

3. Chechnya

Chechnya has slowly begun to get back on its feet and remains a Russian republic under the control of Moscow. Visits to Grozny, the capital, will take you off the Georgian Military Highway and into an area that the UN deemed the most destroyed city on earth in 2003. Two hours south of Grozny you’ll get to the largest lake in the Caucasus, Lake Kezenoyam, before heading over the border and into Dagestan.
Georgia

4. Georgia

Entering Georgia via the darkly forested mountains of Armenia is atmospheric with Tbilisi, Georgia’s capital, offering a unique mix of architectural styles alongside sites such as Siony Cathedral, Anchiskhati Basilica and the dominating form of Narikala Fortress. The Georgian Military Highway takes you high into the Caucasus en route to Mtskheta, Kazbegi and Gori, the birthplace of ‘Uncle Joe’ - Joseph Stalin.
North Ossetia

5. North Ossetia

The incredible range of biodiversity, endangered species and archaeological sites in Alaniya National Park alone make a trip to North Ossetia a thrill for cultured travellers with the Central Caucasus forming the backbone to trips into Russia’s wild frontier. Nalchik and Vladikavkaz invite further insight into the workings of southwest Russia with the Tsey Glacier and eerie medieval tombs of Dargavs providing a few more.
South Ossetia

6. South Ossetia

Separated from Russia by the Greater Caucasus and linked to North Ossetia by the Roki Tunnel, South Ossetia is part of Georgia and still a slightly contentious subject with Muscovites. But forget the Kremlin and concentrate on the wide open spaces, where Christian shrines and monasteries accompany remote villages and the battle-scarred city of Tskhinvali offers respite en-route to Ertso Lake in the Kudar Valley.
