Armenia: Hiking and Rock Climbing

A new book on hiking and rock climbing in Armenia has been released. There will be a public launch of the new on Wednesday 17 November, 17:30-19:30 at Artbridge Bookstore & Cafe on Abovian.

The guide has been put together by the Kanach Foundation, with whom Jeffrey Tufenkian is involved.
The guide offers:

1. 2 day hikes and 4 rock climbing sites, with detailed maps and descriptions
2. Everything you need to know to prepare for hiking or rock climbing in Armenia
3. Useful contact information for accommodation and transportation to organize excursions yourself
4. A concise introduction to Armenia and its natural environment

I personally contributed one hike around Tatev to the effort, but I don't know if they used it or not.

Books will be available that evening for purchase at a discount. Beginning on 11 November, the book will be available at Noyan Tapan Bookstore, Artbridge Caf? & Bookstore and Salt Sack Shop. Please note that this first edition of the book is an English language version aimed primarily at an international audience, but will be followed by an Armenian language version in early 2005.
