Overnight stay is scheduled in Samakhyan village’s country house. The whole itinerary is 37 km/23 miles 13.

Day 2: Moving from Shamakhyan to Kamut (alt.1950m/1.2 miles), then to Okon (alt. 1800 m/1.1 miles), where the territory of alpine fields begins – summer pastures with small areas of leaf forests. Overnight stay in Okon (stone house of local shepherds or in a tent). Passed itinerary – 37 km/ 23 miles.

Overnight stay organizing. Drive from Yerevan to the starting point and back.
