Georgia and Armenia: Two Countries, One Journey
Few itineraries offer as much diversity as a Georgia–Armenia tour. In 7–10 days you experience: the Caucasus mountains, ancient cave monasteries, UNESCO World Heritage sites, two distinct wine cultures (Georgian qvevri amber wine and Armenian brandy), and the warm hospitality that defines the region.
The border crossing at Sadakhlo–Bagravan is the main land route between the two countries. At peak times it takes 60 minutes, off-peak 30 minutes. Timur handles the logistics on both sides.
