Ne vous inquiétez pas, il n'y a pas eu de bandits dans ces régions depuis longtemps. Ce sentier, qui aurait autrefois fait partie de la route de la soie, relie les villages de Gomk et d'Artavan.
Vous remarquerez peut-être que ce sentier chevauche le sentier Stairway To Heaven, mais il y a une ramification que vous vous devez d’emprunter qui vous emmène au village d'Artavan depuis Gomk, et vice-versa. Lors de votre randonnée sur l’Ancienne Route des Bandits, vous vous retrouverez sur des marches en pierre artificielles qui remontent les montagnes divisant les deux villages. On pense que cette section du sentier faisait partie de la Route de la Soie! En continuant, vous traverserez un sentier de falaise pittoresque, qui longe des affleurements rocheux. Près d'Artavan, les anciens sentiers ont été restaurés et transformés en une belle forê; vous y remarquerez d'anciens camps de bandits de la route de la soie, sans les bandits - ils sont partis depuis longtemps. Ce sentier fait partie de l'itinéraire du Sentier Transcaucasien qui traverse la province de Vayots Dzor.

This was our favourite of the three hikes we did. Amazing views - as others have noted, the first bit was quite challenging for those of us who aren't as fit but well worth it. We stayed in gomkers the night before after doing the martiros to gomk trail (we then did gomk to Artavan where we stayed 2 nights so we could do the hayeli lake trail). Gomkers was a lovely Guesthouse - we were welcomed by a family who are supporting to run gomkers (quite a fancy Guesthouse which is reflected in the price compared to homestays for example). They were extemely welcoming especially as we were the only guests that night. No WiFi at the Guesthouse (as expected) and apparently some 3G networks work but not all (vivacell was recommended to us)

My new favorite trail in the whole country!! The climb in the first 8km is tough (not for the faint of heart - very steep) but you will be amply rewarded by the view. Also love that this trail goes through a part of the old silk road route.

It is a pretty steep climb out of the canyon--pack plenty of water--but the views from the top are spectacular, and you can also scramble further for big views over to the Nakchivan border. Further down in the valley, a kind herder (Georg) invited me in for cheese and other goodies.
