Geocache Description:

Cache is located above mostly abandoned settlement of Nafcha in altitude of around 2000 meters. Getting there requires either a 4WD vehicle or 3-4 hours of hiking from the center of Kapan.



There are amazing views from the area around the cache and the hike is totally worth the effort. It is a perfect spot for pitching your tent and continue hiking towards the summit of Mount Khustup. There is plenty of space and drinking water. Reaching Mount Khustup itself should take between 2-3 hours. The whole hike from Kapan to Khustup can also be done in a very long and strenous day-hike if you have the fitness.

Cache is hidden within a clearly visible rock formation and can be retrieved from the ground.

I have written an extensive hint and added a photohint for this one so you don't have to wander around too long if you don't want to.


These six caches were placed during one week at the end of April and beginning of May 2017 around Kapan by nudle_cz with consent and supervision of ARK Armenia whose members and volunteers will also provide necessary maintenance for the caches:

GC7502K
GC7500E
GC7500T
GC7501N
GC754D8
GC754DT

We hope you will like the caches and the places where we have hidden them. Southern Armenia is an amazing region to visit for anyone who likes beautiful and unspoilt nature, mountains, historical sites and friendly people. Share your adventures and opinions with us in the cache logs. Have a good trip!
