Itinerary description
Difficulty: relatively difficult with steep ascend
Start point: 1250 m (Darakand)
End point: 1430 m (Kohnadakhar)
Highest point: 1520 m (with a view of Niyaldag)
Distance: 3.1 km
Ascend: 410 m
Descend: 230 m
Duration: 2.5 hours
The end point of the proposed hiking trail is Kohnadakhar village (Köhnədaxar) which is located over Darakand village and hosts around 30 families of Tat origin. The main economic activity here is charcoal making which leaves negative impact on surrounding forests. However, some maiden forests still remain in impassable areas. The village is 5 kilometres from the main road and can be reached in off-road cars.
Hiking around the surrounding mountains and through authentic Tat villages with breath-taking views of Girdiman valley and Niyaldag mountain range (Niyaldağ) is to be a very interesting and memorable experience. Those hikers who want to complete the proposed trail till Kohnadakhar village may hire local villagers’ vehicles there and return to the main road at Gandov village. For hikers who experience difficulty at steep ascends it is advised to go up to Kohnadakhar village in off-road cars and then descend the trail in opposite direction.
