Itinerary description

Start at the Naimy Memorial site and check that out. You then have to walk a bit down the road (~300 meters) and you’ll see the trail entrance on your left. Follow the purple and gold markings the whole way. The only tricky part was after the Suleman K home and small church, you’ll need to turn around and take the other trail you should have just passed (you’ll see the signs). Then you’ll need to pay attention to the turn off. You’ll leave the dirt road and head on to the trail. You’ll go down and then up to Baskinta town. If you have time and it’s open, definitely go to the Krikor Bakery just outside of town and get some traditional manouche... it’s amazing. You can also complete the loop and head back to the memorial.
