Janapar

Janapar

Janapar is the wandering marked trail through mountains, valleys and villages of Nagorno-Karabakh, with monasteries and fortresses along the way. The trail is broken into day hikes, which will bring you to a different village each night, where you can either stay with a village family or set up camp nearby. The paths have existed for centuries, but now are marked specifically for hikers.

Himnakan Janapar

The Himnakan Janapar (backbone trail), marked in 2007, leads from the northwest region of Shahumian to the southern town of Hadrut. Side trails and mini trails take you to additional parts of Karabakh. The important site passed along this hike include Dadivank monastery, Gandzasar monastery, Shushi, the Karkar Canyon with its high cliffs, Zontik Waterfall and ruins of Hunot, as well as the 2,000 year old tree of Skhtorashen, Azykh Cave and Gtichavank monastery.

The symbol of the trail is an outline of Karabakh, with 5 circles of increasing size on top, which take on the appearance of a footprint.
