Thanks
to
Dook
for
arranging
another
great
trip.
Mohnish
Gohal
again
showed
professionalism
in
organizing
another
great
trip.
The
previous
trip
with
Dook
was
last
year
to
Uzbekistan-Kazhakstan-Kyrgyztan
which
was
very
well
organized
by
Mohnish.
In
fact
this
trip
began
with
a
shocker
at
the
Chennai
international
airport
where
the
Al
Jazeera
airlines
ground
staff
were
not
convinced
with
the
Baku-Tbilisi-Yerevan
round
trip
and
warned
us
that
we
will
have
troubles
crossing
the
borders
due
to
the
ongoing
tensed
situation.
Mohnish
was
very
confident
about
the
travel
plans
and
assured
us
a
hassle-free
border
crossing.
After
convincing
Al
Jazeera
airlines
staff
with
various
supporting
documents
we
were
able
to
successfully
begin
the
trip.
Suggest
people
to
avoid
Al
Jazeera
as
much
as
possible
to
avoid
such
unnecessary
hassles.
We
were
promptly
picked
up
at
the
airports
by
Ekbar
at
Baku
and
Giga
at
Tbilisi.
We
hoped
they
both
would
be
our
guides
as
well
but
unfortunately
they
both
acted
only
as
drivers
who
dropped
us
at
various
site-seeing
places
but
never
gave
any
explanation
about
the
places
even
though
they
spoke
good
English.
They
were
mostly
preoccupied
with
their
phones.
There
are
four
entry
points
from
Georgia
to
Armenia
and
in
spite
of
reminding
Giga
to
ensure
the
correct
crossing
point,
he
made
a
blunder
and
took
the
route
to
the
wrong
entry
point
to
Armenia.
This
caused
unnecessary
delay
in
reaching
Armenia.
Fortunately
the
guide
at
Armenia
(Levon)
was
patiently
waiting
at
the
border
and
we
were
delayed
by
three
hours.
Immigration
at
Armenia
was
pretty
smooth
and
Levon
was
able
to
quickly
cover
some
of
the
sightseeing
places.
The
unnecessary
delay
caused
by
Giga
impacted
the
sightseeing
on
the
first
day
as
we
had
to
rush
before
it
became
dark.
Levon
was
the
only
tour
guide
who
not
only
took
us
to
various
places
but
also
explained
in
detail
about
the
various
site
seeing
places
and
the
country
as
a
whole.
Food
at
Azerbaijan
and
Armenia
were
great.
However,
at
Georgia
it
was
very
mediocre
and
we
were
served
chicken
all
the
four
days
in
spite
of
requesting
for
lamb
or
beef.
While
we
covered
most
of
the
important
places
at
all
these
three
countries,
I
think
it
would
had
been
great
had
Quba
at
Azerbaijan
and
symphony
of
stones
at
Armenia
been
included
in
our
itinerary.
It
wasnβt
a
packed
schedule
and
we
had
lot
of
free
time
which
we
spent
roaming
around
the
cities
on
our
own.
Overall
I
would
say
it
was
an
excellent
trip.
Thanks
again
to
Dook
and
particularly
Mohnish
Gohal
who
from
the
beginning
was
very
patiently
answering
all
our
queries.
Looking
forward
to
book
the
Tajikistan,
Turkmenistan
and
Belarus
trip
next
year.
