From the pass the route follows jeep tracks up onto the Vardenyats ridge, tracing the border between Gegharkunik and Vayots Dzor with wide views south. It then descends past the Hors conservation area visitor centre through meadows and woodland to the village of Hors. A long day of about 20 km, mostly on 4x4 tracks with several water sources.
