What you SHOULD KNOW about this trail?

--- The route starts from Sanahin monastery located in Sanahin village( Սանահին գյուղ ) and heads to Akner village.

--- During hiking you regularly will go down and up, but mostly you hike down.

--- Near the field in Akner village you'll have a sight of Kayan fortress ( Կայան բերդ ).

--- This route is blazed, but the marks are vanished in a lot of spots, so will be better to have GPS on you.

Lori is amazing both in spring and in summer and in autumn (especially mid-late October) and in winter (if you like snow hikes).
