Why Safari Sutra?

Most Georgia–Armenia combos fly between capitals or rush the border in one long drive; we cross by road through the Debed Canyon, stop overnight in Dilijan, and arrive in Yerevan rested, with three nights to explore properly. One private vehicle handles the whole journey, and guides on both sides of the border work from the same briefing.
