Firstly, let’s make it simple. What is rafting? It’s a rowing rubber boat which follows the direction of rivers from the mountains. The boat takes a group of people. If you are an extreme lover, you will be glad to know that currently, rafting is one of the most popular ways of extreme tourism in Armenia. The best river to go rafting in is Debed river in the Lori region. It is situated in the beautiful green mountains and valleys. The best time for rafting in Debed river is from the month of June until October. In that period of the year, both the weather and the level of the water are convenient and favorable.
If you’d like to see Armenia from a bird’s perspective, try hot air ballooning. The country’s beautiful landscape provides stunning scenery and the method of transport offers a unique experience for visitors. You’ll fly over some of the most gorgeous landscapes for about 40 minutes to an hour at 1,000 meters (3,280 ft) above the ground. You can choose to watch the sunset or sunrise. If you are traveling with a loved one, this is one of the most romantic activities you can plan for him or her. However, doing it with friends or family members is also a good way to have a bit of fun and an unusual experience together.
The northern provinces of Lori and Tavush are perfect for cycling. And, if you’re into mountain biking, the regions of Vayots Dzor and Syunik await you. As you go cycling through the mountains, gorges, and valleys, be sure to take in the beautiful sites laid out before you. Wherever you choose to go for this adventure, you’re bound to come across wonderful sites that will leave you waiting to return.
Horseback riding is a popular activity in Armenia. Most people living in the mountains own horses, and they provide their horses for people to ride during the warmer months. The Tavush region is one of the best spots for horseback riding trails. The Vardenis and Geghama mountains are also great places to go for horseback riding.
Tsaghkadzor ski resort is a perfect place to ski and snowboard off the beaten path. Here, the slopes don’t crust and the undisturbed snow supports your board.

Mountains Hatis and Gutan are very close to Yerevan and are two of the most popular destinations for those wanting to try paragliding. Mount Teghenis, known for the ski resort Tsaghkadzor, is a great place to experience paraskiing, while flying over Lake Sevan is also another breathtaking option.
