Date: August 20th, 2018 1:43 PM Author: irradiated hyperactive doctorate institution yes, it's CR. fly into iran from baku.
how many days do you have
i have a 180 driver/guide in armenia if u need |
|
Date: August 20th, 2018 1:43 PM Author: Bateful azure stain assume I have at most 2 weeks
how necessary is guided tour vs self-transporting in these places |
|
Date: August 20th, 2018 1:55 PM Author: irradiated hyperactive doctorate institution you can be on your own in the cities but most of the stuff is day trips and you can just use drivers for day trips. pub transportation would be too inefficient/impossible for day trips.
you can rent a car yourself i suppose but i dont like driving in third world countries.
azerbaijan is much more expensive and i'd try to spend minimal time there. try to get an azeri transit visa. much cheaper |

Date: August 20th, 2018 2:04 PM Author: irradiated hyperactive doctorate institution azerbaijan -- old city of baku, mud volcanoes and cave paintings in gobustan
armenia -- genocide museum, armenian vatican, Garni, Geghard, Khor Virap, Noravank, Dilijan, Debed Canyon
georgia -- tons of shit in tbilisi, stalin museum in gori is 180, mestia/ushguli is beautiful scenery, Davit Gareja, Sighnaghi, Kazbegi, Mtskheta |
|
Date: August 20th, 2018 2:05 PM Author: Bateful azure stain where are the mud volcanos in relation to Baku
how far is all that stuff in Georgia and Armenia from the capitals? Are these all just a day trip from Yerevan/Tbilisi? |
|
Date: August 20th, 2018 2:09 PM Author: irradiated hyperactive doctorate institution mud volcanoes are like a 1.5 hr drive from baku. cave paintings and mud volcanoes are like a half day
you can do most of the stuff as day trips from yerevan and tbilisi. might be some backtracking but i prefer to stay in the same hotel.
also you can see some of that shit on the road from yerevan to tbilisi.
the only things that arent day road trips are mestia/ushguli. it's a short flight or a long-ass drive if the flight gets cancelled. it's really pretty and exotic there
we didnt go to nogorno-karabach. i think RSF did. would have been 180 but we didnt have time. |
|
Date: August 20th, 2018 2:10 PM Author: Bateful azure stain yeah I'm a big fan of the "stay in one central hotel, take a day trip each day" model since I don't have to haul my shit around (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4056170&forum_id=2#36649135) |

i also have a georgia driver for you. the armenia guy is one of the best i ever had anywhere in the world. the georgia girl wasnt as good as him but i highly recommend still. she's a hot titless stick russian girl. |

|
Date: August 20th, 2018 2:12 PM Author: irradiated hyperactive doctorate institution we werent there for more than a day.
the old city of baku was pretty cool.
mud volcanoes are awesome. i thought they were unique but im not sure if u can see them elsewhere in that quantity.
|
|
Date: August 20th, 2018 2:13 PM Author: Bateful azure stain dude like half the world's mud volcanos are in Azerbaijan
I am a confirmed country-counter but the CR thing to mock me for is not visiting Azerbaijan, but for spending a day in Qatar which I will surely do on this trip because the cheapest way to get to Baku from America is via Doha |

|
Date: August 20th, 2018 2:17 PM Author: Bateful azure stain I only count them if I leave the airport. I'd have to DQ like a third of my countries if I required a stamp, due to Schengen.
this is why I am forcing myself to get out of the airport in Doha |

Date: August 20th, 2018 2:22 PM Author: irradiated hyperactive doctorate institution AA/QR layovers in DOH suck for being able to see the city a little, i've found. ideally you'd want an evening arrival and departure so you can get a free full day. wish you could stop for >24hrs (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4056170&forum_id=2#36649228) |

|
Date: August 20th, 2018 3:55 PM Author: laughsome hyperventilating really tough guy codepig Look for the itinerary that forces an 8+ hour layover. What matters is when you arrive. There can't be that many flights to Yerevan.
I did this years ago but admittedly I bought a biz ticket |
