Armenia is a true paradise for birdwatchers as it hosts a number of species from the Western Palaearctic birding list; many of these are “lifers” for birders. Of the 800 bird species that are recorded in Europe, 350 of these have been recorded in Armenia. On this trip you will be taken to a variety of places in the hopes that you will get to see as many of these birds as possible.

The best times to go are April, May, June, September and October. Summers are extremely hot, with temperatures reaching up to 40 degrees celsius in the capital, Yerevan. The shoulder months also provide the best views of Mount Ararat avoiding the summer heat haze which can sometimes block visibility. Winters are unrelentingly cold, which can disrupt travel plans and render mountain hikes impossible.
