ABC News has named Nagorno-Karabakh among '7 great offbeat places to go in 2012.’
“If you're looking for an adventure, this landlocked autonomous region between Armenia and Azerbaijan is the place to go,” ABC News reports.
“Stay at the recently-built Armenia Hotel in the capital, Stepanakert, and use the city as your base to explore the region. Go hiking through snow-topped mountains and fields of yellow and red flowers. Feast on shish kebob and grilled vegetables. If you're staying with a local, don't be surprised if you're offered homemade mulberry vodka with breakfast,” says the article.
“Don't miss the Gandzasar Monastery, meaning "hilltop treasure," built in the 10th century. Visit it at night to see it lit up in the darkness,” ABC News says.
