We want to support an Armenian self-employed teacher with few tablets from Germany. How can we send the tablets to Armenia as cheaply as possible?

Hello faevil, 3 years ago we did a trip from Teberda to Verchny Baksan, the north side of Mt. Elbrus. Very nice! The gpx-file is on gaia . 8 days, 120 km.

Mazeno,

Hi Julia & Mazeno, thanks for your response! We want to do a hike for two weeks in the Fann Mountains and Yagnob Valley with our own tent and food. So we have enough stuff/food to carry. That`s the reason, that I asked for climbing without rope and harness... And no worry, we have experiences in roc...

Hi Julia,
