Armenia with Nagorno Karabagh, 2nd: The Bradt Travel Guide Review

This guide is still the only one in English to offer comprehensive information on travel in Armenia, a destination well worth visiting in its own right. This rural retreat enjoys an astonishingly well-preserved legacy of monastic buildings, often set in magnificent locations. Nicholas Holding covers a wide spectrum of activities that give Armenia a huge potential for visitors, including birding, hiking, the arts, architectural tours, botanical trips, angling, horseriding, and caving.
 
Features include:
 
*A variety of sections with strong appeal to visitors: architecture, wildlife, religion, and culture
*Vital practical details on visas, red tape, land border crossings, health, and safety, plus useful words and phrases
*Full and half-day excursions from the capital, Yerevan
*The territory of Nagorno Karabagh
 
 


I have recently moved to Armenia and bought this book shortly before leaving the United States. My interest was mainly used to go to nice places to find the country, and this book definitely serves this purpose. We live in Yerevan, the capital, which is fairly well documented in the book.
Our second weekend in the country, we have decided on a mountain near you travel – a wife and three young children – for sledding in April – and some do not speak Armenian. All I had to gowas the map of the region on page 106 and the description Narat travel writer. We have (our goal and two feet of snow) easily.
Last weekend, we have the book to visit again a year hiding 1000 (old), and some ruins of monasteries in the forests of the region of Lori. The Narat in the book was once again, attention to detail – our only problem was, if we are a newly paved road, as in poor condition, in the book (the time was described satisfies) as a member.
I recommend this book especially for those who are interested, and to explore the more remote areas.
The book would be much better mixed with the maps of the main streets of every city of pointing and color images with text (now the pictures are) all in the middle of the book. Yerevan is growing rapidly and is impossible to describe, but the campaign is almost identical, if the author has visited.
