CNN Travel has included Armenia in the list of 23 best hiking trails in the world. Easily overlooked, Armenia has some of the best walking trails in Europe, the source noted, adding:

 

"The 11-day Armenia and the Silk Road trip takes in some of its finest routes, connecting the UNESCO protected monasteries of Sanahin and Haghpat, passing over limestone peaks and through verdant forests, with the opportunity to hike in the wild Geghama Mountains and climb to the top of Aragats, the country's tallest mountain."
