Across the Caucasus: Hiking Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan's Wild Heart

By Praise Debrah

From the vineyards of Georgia's Kakheti Valley to the cliffside monasteries of Armenia and the wind-swept deserts of Azerbaijan, one traveler sets out on foot to uncover the untamed beauty and complex soul of the Caucasus-the wild heart where Europe and Asia meet.
Told in vivid, lyrical first-person narrative, Across the Caucasus is more than a travel memoir; it's a pilgrimage across borders of culture, faith, and time. Each step leads deeper into the intertwined histories of three nations-where hospitality is a sacred law, silence holds ancient wisdom, and mountains speak in the language of endurance.
Through encounters with shepherds, monks, and villagers, the narrator discovers that the true journey is not measured in miles but in moments of connection-the cup of tea shared with a stranger, the candle lit in a monastery, the border crossed not on maps but within the heart.
Rich in sensory detail and reflection, this book captures the rhythms, contradictions, and grace of a region both divided and united by its landscapes. It's a story for those who walk to listen, who seek meaning in motion, and who believe that travel-at its deepest-reveals the traveler more than the terrain.
For readers of Robert Macfarlane, Colin Thubron, and Pico Iyer, Across the Caucasus is a poetic journey into the geography of wonder, solitude, and belonging.
