Welcome to the
The First International Long-Distance Hiking Trail in the Caucasus
Since 2015, we have been developing a sustainable, world-class, long-distance hiking trail across Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan. When the trail is complete, two connecting trails will lead hikers 3000 km across forests, mountains, canyons, and rivers, connecting cultural heritage sites and local communities. More than half of the Transcaucasian Trail (TCT) can currently be hiked, and we’re working hard to build the rest of the trail.
