When you imagine must-visit destinations around the world for avid hikers<\/a>, you might not think of including the Caucasus on that list. But\u00a0Armenia, a landlocked country that has underrated beaches surrounded by mountain views<\/a>, and\u00a0Georgia,\u00a0a country known for epic hiking trails<\/a>, are both well worth a dedicated hiking trip. Add Azerbaijan to that list and you have a trifecta of hiking bliss. But what about a combination of all three? Touted as the first international hiking trail within the Caucasus, the Transcaucasian Trail will span across all three of these countries and two continents. The trail\u00a0takes hikers through vast valleys, rural meadows, and over mountain peaks, connecting shepherd paths to ATV routes and other pathways.<\/p>\n The Transcaucasian Trail is notably the new kid on the block when it comes to long-distance hiking trails. Recently opened in 2022, the lesser-known trail has been in the works since 2015 and is sure to make the lists of avid hikers. As of 2025, the trail can be hiked in several different portions in all three countries, including a long portion in Armenia that stretches over 500 miles and takes up to 45 days.\u00a0Once fully completed, the trail will test the endurance of hikers, winding 1,864 miles through diverse landscapes in Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan.<\/p>\n
