This thrillingly mountainous, scenically spectacular and culturally diverse region is where Asia and Europe rub up against each other, with often unpredictable and fascinating results. Lonely Planet is your passport to Georgia, Armenia & Azerbaijan, with amazing travel experiences and the best planning advice.

Lonely Planet writer Tom Masters describes why he loves Georgia, Armenia & Azerbaijan. "In 20 years of travelling in this incredible region, I've gained enough experiences for a life-time, and despite the monumental changes I've witnessed in all three countries, the things I most love have barely changed. The mountains, despite their shrinking glaciers, remain just as majestic and mysterious, even if the roads to reach them are dramatically improved. The food, in all its carb-laden, spicy glory, hasn't changed once you leave the culinary oases of the three capitals, and perhaps above all, the people of the South Caucasus remain as kind, curious, good-humoured and contradictory as ever."

Hike, Drive, Stayin' Alive! by The Raven Brothers
On Amazon >
Out of shape and unprepared, The
Raven Brothers return to the road in a collection of ten quests to travel to their dream destinations
against all odds! After two decades pioneering new routes across the globe, you would expect the
authors of 'Driving the Trans-Siberian' to be hotshot explorers, with a sixth sense and an ability to
survive in almost any situation. Think again! With virtually zero knowledge of the workings of the
internal combustion engine and very limited skills of wilderness survival, Simon and Chris struggle
into their hiking boots and power across three continents by river, tarmac and trail.
Venture to the top of Norway, cruise the
road to Damascus, hike the Camino trail into Spain’s Wild West, row the Ganges, explore Frida
Kahlo’s world in Mexico City, hangout with the dead in Sicily’s eerie catacombs, crawl deep inside
Bolivia’s notorious silver mine, seek lions in Gujarat, wellness in Berlin and journey into the Naga
Hills where tribal kings still rule.
Noted by Lonely Planet for their talent to portray an “accurate view of what to expect”, 'Hike,
Drive, Stayin’ Alive!' signals a return to the duo writing “buttock clenching” travel comedy with the
first in a series of candid stories of adventure by The Raven Brothers.
