Nagorno Karabakh  Nagorno-Karabakh is a region in the Lesser
Caucasus mountains. Although it is internationally regarded as
part of Azerbaijian, it has declared itself independent and is
now claimed by both Azerbaijan and Armenia.  Despite all the
turmoil, Nagorno-Karabakh is home to the Janapar Trail, the one
and only truly waymarked long distance hiking trail in the whole
Caucasus region! The trail crosses the full length of Nagorno-
Karabakh from northwest to southeast, and will take 14 days to
complete.  The landscape is largely mountainous, the higher
slopes covered in forest, with monasteries, fortresses and
villages in the foothills and valleys.       1. Cancel
