  • Comment se rendre dans les monts Kaçkar | Douzeregardsdumonde

    Pour rejoindre les vallées proches des monts Kaçkar à partir de Trabzon, il faut compter une bonne demi-journée. Et quelques changements de bus pour arriver à bon port. How to get to Kaçkar Mountains from Trabzon? To reach the valleys near the Kaçkar Mountains from Trabzon, it takes a good half-day. And a few bus changes to get to your destination. First stop: Pazar or Ardesen From the Otogar of Trabzon, buses leave in the direction of Hopa and stop at Pazar or Ardesen, towns of transition to the Kaçkar. Indicate your intention to join Ayder so that the driver drops you off at the right place. For 18 Turkish liras, the bus will drop you off at Pazar, after about 2 hours of travel. Second stage: direction Ayder From Pazar, ride one of the dolmuches towards Camlihemsin and Ayder. For 13 Turkish liras, the transport will take you to this second destination in about 1h30. It is possible to start your hike from Ayder, which has become very touristy, but we advise you to extend the transport to Kavrun. Terminal: Kavrun Once you arrive in Ayder, the dolmuche will tell you which transport to take to cover the 10 kilometers separating you from Kavrun, the starting point of your hike. It will cost you 15 Turkish liras and about 30 minutes ride. You can now attack the hike or pitch your tent for free in Kavrun. What to do in Cappadocia? What to do in Cappadocia?

  • Mont Kaçkar : quel itinéraire ? | Douzeregardsdumonde

    Au départ de Kavrun, l’ascension du mont Kaçkar peut se réaliser en deux jours en passant par le village d’Olgunlar. Avec plus ou moins d’étapes sur le parcours. Which route for the ascent of Mount Kaçkar? From Kavrun, the ascent of Mount Kaçkar (3,937m) can be achieved in two days via the village of Olgunlar. With more or less stages on the course. Dilberduzu campsite Dilberdüzü - mount Kaçkar: until the last breath The ascent of Mount Kaçkar is divided into two parts. Leaving from the Dilberdüzü camp, the first stage consists of reaching Lake Deniz, 2kms further on, with 500m of elevation gain on the menu. Once a short rest granted to the lake, the walk continues. On the program a very slight descent then a gradual ascent to Mount Kaçkar, with the last 500 strong meters. 3kms and 500m of elevation gain, that's the summit! The view will stun you for a while at the top...until the gusts of wind bring you back down. For the way back, the route is the same. With the possibility of adding hiking stages around Olgunlar, towards Yaylalar in particular, or around Lake Büyük Deniz for example. Kavrun - Olgunlar: 13kms in yoyo mode Timing will depend on walking pace. Because the elevations are quite steep. From Kavrun, the walk to Olgunlar is divided into a 6km climb with 900m of positive elevation gain then a 7km descent with 1,100m of negative elevation gain. It is possible to camp on the way, at the campsite of Düpedüzü or at the village of Dybe. Olgunlar - Dilberdüzü : the 10% ascent To get a little ahead, it is also possible to extend the day to the Dilberdüzü campsite. On the program, 7.5kms with 750m of elevation gain. And a well-deserved rest before attacking the ascent of Mount Kaçkar the next morning. Why start with Kavrun? From Trabzon, it is easier to reach Ayder or Kavrun by bus or dolmuche. Transport can also reach Yusufeli (south face of Kaçkar) but, due to the recent construction of a dam, access to hikes from this town is made more complicated. Moreover, in August 2018, the village of Kavrun was much less frequented than Ayder. It was therefore much more pleasant to start the hike there for the ascent of Mount Kaçkar.

  • Itinéraire d'une semaine sur la côte de la mer Noire ? | Douzeregardsdumonde

    Au départ d’Istanbul, on a filé sur la côte de la mer Noire pour une petite semaine. Avec quelques beaux couchers de soleil et un pique-nique dans une crique bien sympathique. What itinerary for a week on the Black Sea coast? Leaving Istanbul, we headed to the Black Sea coast for a short week. With some beautiful sunsets and a picnic in a very nice cove. From Istanbul to Amasra: Safranbolu, Yörük Köyü and sunset at Boztepe The road is not really worth stopping right away. But the skyscrapers around Istanbul are gradually giving way to the dense forest around the Black Sea coast. There, we make a first stop. In the city of Karabük, a few kilometers from the charming Safranbolu and its Ottoman houses and the (slightly) less touristy village of Yörük Köyü. On the menu, Turkish delights and gozlemes. The city of Amasra awaits us. About two hours away, this small coastal port will serve as a starting point for our road trip on the Black Sea. A swim in the beach of the small port and a sunset in Boztepe, at the end of the city, justify stopping there for more than a day. View of Amasra from Boztepe Port of Gideros From Amasra to Sinop: Picnic at Gideros and Swimming at Kapisuyu The decor is sublime. The switchbacks along the Black Sea between Amasra and Sinop offer a magnificent route. With some equally tasty stops. First step, a swim in the clear waters of Kapisuyu beach. Without anyone ! Take your time, not sure you'll find a beach like that until Sinop. It's lunch break time. Head to the tiny port of Gideros. You can plan your picnic or have lunch in the restaurant by the water. Just to make the most of this soothing cove. Before heading back to Sinop. Kastamonu, intermediate stage In the middle of the journey, at Inebolu, we headed for the pretty town of Kastamonu to spend the night there and visit the wooden mosque of Kasaba the next day. We recommend this little hook, but you can just as easily head for Sinop. This is where our journey on the Black Sea ended.Direction Cappadocia . What to do in Cappadocia? What to do in Cappadocia?

  • Atlas : plutôt M’Goun ou Toubkal ? | Douzeregardsdumonde

    Pour une rando à plus de 4 000m, les monts Toubkal et M’Goun sont deux superbes options offertes par l’Atlas au Maroc. On a essayé de les départager si jamais il ne fallait en grimper qu’un seul. Atlas: rather M'Goun or Toubkal? For a hike over 4,000m, the Toubkal and M'Goun mountains are two superb options offered by the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. We tried to decide between them if only one had to be climbed. The two summits meet each other. With a difference of a few meters in height, Mount Toubkal (4,132m) and M'Goun (4,071m) however have two quite distinct hiking profiles. Between dry ascent on one side and long-distance stroll on the other. Frequentation (and pollution): M'Goun The feeling is strange. After hiking around Toubkal, the trails to M'Goun seem empty. Leaves to make the hiker doubt. Am I on the right track? Because this mountain, located in the Bouguemez valley, is much more remote than its friend. And lower, therefore, perhaps, less prestigious. Result, no one on the way. Nature for itself. And especially the preserved nature. Compared to the hike to Toubkal, very busy and ultra polluted (waste on the trails and in the waterways), that of M'Goun is 100% natural. Go for it. Landscapes: M'Goun In M'Goun as in Toubkal, the summit is accessible after two days of hiking. But the distance to reach the refuge before the ascent of M'Goun is longer (about 20kms against 10kms). It is better to take two days to reach it. To spread the effort first, but above all to make the most of the diversity of landscapes offered by the walk to M'Goun. The surroundings of Toubkal, with Lake Ifni or the valley towards Amsouzerte, also offer incredible landscapes. But you have to extend the hike beyond the highest peak in Morocco to get there. Since our comparison stops here only on the ascent, the M'Goun is ahead of the Toubkal in terms of landscapes. Level of difficulty: M'Goun Where the Toubkal dries the legs, the M'Goun spreads the effort. To reach the two peaks, the drop is 1,000m. But the percentage is much lower on the M'Goun. And therefore allows you to better distribute your energy. The M'Goun therefore represents the best option for a more serene ascent. Conclusion: the choice is yours If you only want to do one hike in the Atlas, opt for the M'Goun. For the connection with nature, the diversity of the landscapes or the breathtaking views on a ridge of 4kms at... 4000m altitude. Unique. On the other hand, if you snub the desert and prefer to devote your time to the mountains, go for the two peaks! The experience is totally different and both efforts offer their magnificent rewards. The taste of effort: Toubkal The climb is dry. Best to do it before sunrise. In the dark, to better avoid seeing the drop. For lovers of the effort, it is certain, the Toubkal constitutes the best option. With its vertical drop of 1,000m over 3km, it offers two hours of intense effort. Cuts your legs off. Then the breath, once at the top. Height: Toubkal For a few tens of meters, the Toubkal snubs its neighbor in the Atlas. And also dominates Morocco. For prestige and family meals, the Toubkal is better than the M'Goun. Transport accessibility: Toubkal To join the two hikes, the departure is generally from Marrakech. For Toubkal, direction Imlil. For the M'Goun, direction Aït Bouguemez. A single transport and 2 hours of travel against a bus and a minivan for 5-6 hours of transport, the Toubkal is the most accessible mountain from Marrakech. View at the top: M'Goun The peak of Toubkal impresses. Higher than all its neighbours, it offers a magnificent 360º panorama. However, it is not worth its counterpart. The M'Goun spreads its panorama over... 4kms! Before reaching the peak itself, a sublime ridge at an altitude of 4,000m invites you to discover a palette of colors on the neighboring mountains. At sunrise, each step is a wonder, the clouds drawing new shapes at every moment. The viewing experience lasts over an hour. And constantly renewing itself. Another point for the M'Goun.

  • Turquie : Que faire dans la Cappadoce ? | Douzeregardsdumonde

    La Cappadoce fait parler par ses cheminées de fée, c’est vrai. Mais elle recèle bien d’autres trésors. Entre villes souterraines et églises dissimulées, voici un petit tour du proprio. What to do in Cappadocia? Cappadocia makes speak by its fairy chimneys, it is true. But it conceals many other treasures. Between underground cities and hidden churches, here is a little tour of the owner. The earliest The attraction is well known. And therefore, inevitably, well run. However, it remains unavoidable. Every morning, wind permitting, several dozen hot air balloons take off from around Göreme at dawn. The spectacle at sunrise is breathtaking! Take a little height on the surrounding hills to make the most of it. A word of advice, don't wait until the last day of your stay in Cappadocia car you would be very disappointed if the hot air balloons didn't take off that day when your plane wouldn't be able to take it two time. The most scary They are several in Cappadocia. More or less deep, many underground cities are open to the public (Derinkuyu and Kaymakli are the best known). It is therefore possible to explore with or without a guide these networks set up by persecuted Christians several centuries ago. Claustrophobic or not, the descent through the corridors just wide enough for you will give you chills. The most classic The path is almost obligatory if time is short for you. The Goreme Open Air Museum packs several typical Cappadocian formations into a small space and allows you to get a brief glimpse of the area while stomping around amid crowds of tourists. With a slightly more airy density, the touristic citadel of Uchisar offers a panorama of the whole region. If you are really short on time, we advise you to skip the citadel and instead venture into the nearby Vallée Blanche! The most hike Prepare your calves! Cappadocia promises you several more or less physical walks. Given the number of valleys to explore on foot from Göreme, you can easily lose yourself for several days hiking in the middle of the fairy chimneys. Since you have to choose, among our favorites we recommend the White, Rose and Red valleys. the most loyal Pilgrims will enjoy the expedition. Finally, whatever your faith, you will be right to make the trip. 60 kilometers south of Göreme, the Soganli Valley contains eight churches hidden in the troglodyte scenery of the region. Take a few hours to stroll around this small village and admire the frescoes unfortunately deteriorated by some impious people. On the return to Göreme, take the superb road towards Mustafapasa. Extend your pilgrimage to the mosque of Taskinpasa and the monastery of Keslik (with the very good visit of its multilingual guide). Amen. The sunniest The spots are numerous. Above the Devrent valley, towards Pashabagi or even at the level of the Turkish flag dominating the Rose and Red valleys. Every day have fun watching the sunset from a new location around Göreme. You will discover the famous fairy chimneys and the valleys of the region with a new light. Before heading to bed to be in shape for the sunrise and its countless hot air balloons.

  • Frontière Turquie – Arménie : comment et où la franchir ?

    Pour rejoindre l’Arménie depuis Kars en Turquie, il faut passer la frontière avec la Géorgie. Mais par où : Sarp, Türkgözü, ou Çıldır Gölü ? Pour notre part, on a choisi l’option Posof – Türkgözü – Vale - Akhaltsikhe, sur deux jours. On vous explique tout. Which route for the ascent of Mount Kaçkar? From Kavrun, the ascent of Mount Kaçkar (3,937m) can be achieved in two days via the village of Olgunlar. With more or less stages on the course. La frontière Turquie – Arménie est fermée, mais si vous êtes sur cette page vous êtes sûrement déjà au courant. En tout cas, au moment de notre passage en avril 2025, c’était encore le cas. Que vous souhaitiez comme nous rejoindre l’Arménie depuis la Turquie ou alors faire un stop en Géorgie, notre option est envisageable et vous évitera de remonter jusqu’à la mer Noire (Hopa – Sarp – Batumi). Bref, nous voilà partis pour l’option de passer la frontière à Türkgözü côté Turquie et Vale côté Géorgie. Au total pour nous rendre de Kars à Erevan, on a pris six transports en deux jours (pour environ 35€ par personne). Avec un enchaînement plutôt chanceux et des coups de main bienvenus. Kaçkar, mer Noire, Cappadoce... tous nos articles sur la Turquie Why start with Kavrun? From Trabzon, it is easier to reach Ayder or Kavrun by bus or dolmuche. Transport can also reach Yusufeli (south face of Kaçkar) but, due to the recent construction of a dam, access to hikes from this town is made more complicated. Moreover, in August 2018, the village of Kavrun was much less frequented than Ayder. It was therefore much more pleasant to start the hike there for the ascent of Mount Kaçkar. Kavrun - Olgunlar: 13kms in yoyo mode Timing will depend on walking pace. Because the elevations are quite steep. From Kavrun, the walk to Olgunlar is divided into a 6km climb with 900m of positive elevation gain then a 7km descent with 1,100m of negative elevation gain. It is possible to camp on the way, at the campsite of Düpedüzü or at the village of Dybe. Carte de Kars avec la station de minibus. Arrivée à Ardahan à 10h30, le bus nous arrête dans le centre (vers « Merkez Cami » sur maps.me). On marche une dizaine de minutes jusqu’à la station de minibus (« Minibus to Artvin » sur maps.me), la ville a l’air sympa mais on fait bien de ne pas trop traîner. Car un minibus pour Posof part à 11h00 (coût du billet : 200 TL par personne (environ 4,60€)). On croit comprendre qu’un autre bus part à 13h30, à revérifier une fois sur place. On indique bien au chauffeur qu’on souhaite rejoindre la frontière ensuite et, après un peu plus d’une heure de route, au milieu des sacs de provisions, des gamins qui tapent sur notre siège et de la tempête de neige contre laquelle notre chauffeur lutte sereinement, portable à la main, on finit par nous arrêter sur un parking un peu en amont de Posof. Là le pilote lâche son téléphone, nous bouscule et nous fait comprendre qu’un autre transport nous attend. Combien de temps passer en Cappadoce ? Carte de Posof avec les deux arrêts de bus en turquoise. Olgunlar - Dilberdüzü : the 10% ascent To get a little ahead, it is also possible to extend the day to the Dilberdüzü campsite. On the program, 7.5kms with 750m of elevation gain. And a well-deserved rest before attacking the ascent of Mount Kaçkar the next morning. Côté turc, un peu de zèle. Sans plus. Côté géorgien, accueil plus zélé mais passeport tamponné. On change notre argent côté géorgien. Puis, venu de nulle part, un taxi déboule (on suspecte la position en surplomb de la station-essence, poste d’observation idéal pour voir les piétons franchir la frontière). On tente de négocier mais vu la tête du monsieur on arrête assez vite : ce sera 20 GEL (6,40€) par personne. Le trajet dure une petite vingtaine de minutes, à peine le temps de découvrir les belles collines verdoyantes et de sentir passer les nids-de-poule, nous voilà à Akhaltsikhe. Avec une heure de plus en Géorgie, il est 15h. Tout s’est plutôt bien enchaîné, on a maintenant tout l’après-midi pour trouver un transport pour le lendemain ! Comment se rendre dans les monts Kaçkar ? Dilberdüzü - mount Kaçkar: until the last breath The ascent of Mount Kaçkar is divided into two parts. Leaving from the Dilberdüzü camp, the first stage consists of reaching Lake Deniz, 2kms further on, with 500m of elevation gain on the menu. Once a short rest granted to the lake, the walk continues. On the program a very slight descent then a gradual ascent to Mount Kaçkar, with the last 500 strong meters. 3kms and 500m of elevation gain, that's the summit! The view will stun you for a while at the top...until the gusts of wind bring you back down. For the way back, the route is the same. With the possibility of adding hiking stages around Olgunlar, towards Yaylalar in particular, or around Lake Büyük Deniz for example. Vue du mont Ararat depuis Erevan. On s’attend à un minibus mais c’est finalement en mode « go fast » qu’on va franchir la frontière Ninotsminda – Bavra. Trois jeunes, barbes de dix jours et têtes rasées de près, le visage fermé à bord d’une berline : deux passeports géorgiens, un passeport russe. Et nous deux au milieu de tout ça, sur la banquette arrière. On fonce à travers les routes de montagne, l’un collé contre la fenêtre et l’autre serré au milieu et on se demande quand notre voisin russe – dont l’odeur d’alcool de poire s’évapore avec l’altitude – va décuver. Après une belle section de nids-de-poule on arrive finalement à la frontière vers 9h30. Toujours un peu de zèle côté géorgien. Plus tranquille en Arménie. La route est toute neuve et notre pilote s’autorise des entrées en épingle à 70-80 km/h. En moins d’une heure on est à Gyumri, au niveau de la gare routière, « Avtokayan » sur maps.me. On arrive tout juste à temps pour compléter l’effectif d’un marshrutka plein à craquer direction Erevan, départ prévu à 11h. Pour le change, pas de souci, un associé du chauffeur – on va l’appeler comme ça – nous amène jusqu’à un distributeur avec sa voiture. On paie le chauffeur, 1 200 AMD (2,70€) par personne. Et en moins de deux heures on rejoint Erevan. Si possible, prenez un siège à droite : vue garantie sur le mont Ararat ! Why start with Kavrun? From Trabzon, it is easier to reach Ayder or Kavrun by bus or dolmuche. Transport can also reach Yusufeli (south face of Kaçkar) but, due to the recent construction of a dam, access to hikes from this town is made more complicated.

  • Grande Muraille de Chine : Où voir un coucher de soleil ? | Douzeregardsdumonde

    Accessible depuis Pékin, la muraille de Jiankou offre un superbe cadre de randos et, surtout, un magnifique spectacle au coucher du soleil. Where to see a superb sunset over the Great Wall of China? Accessible from Beijing, the Jiankou wall offers a superb setting for hiking and, above all, a magnificent spectacle at sunset. Go to the level of “ escalators of paradise ”. The portion seems slightly sloping. Several dozen steps to gain height. Quickly, very quickly. Breathless, back soaked, and staring at the top. To win his internal conflict against vertigo. The “ stairways to paradise” are well worth their informal nickname. Because they dominate the wall of Jiankou, in the middle of the mountain and very close to the sky. Up there, adrenaline gives way to ecstasy. That of a daily show. And yet unique. A portion of the wall hitherto invisible The rays of the sun begin to fade on the other side of the Wall, towards Mutianyu. The guard towers, one by one, disappear into the shadows. We must then hurry. Because the show takes place at a ten-minute walk, a stroll, alone on the Wall. Two laps later, the show takes on another face. The light of day is fading, the sun is dozing gently. Before lying down behind the mountain. Some of its persistent rays then discover a portion of the Wall hitherto invisible. The silence prolongs this moment. At nightfall, the return to the village of Xizhazi, at the foot of the Wall, takes place in a haze of wonder. Alone in the dark. Guided by the only bright memory of this setting sun. From Dongzhimen Station, take bus 916 to Huairou. From this city, then take the H25 to Xizhazi, the starting point for hikes on the Jiankou wall.

  • Comment/où passer la frontière Brésil–Bolivie ? | Douzeregardsdumonde

    Pour aller en Bolivie, nous avons opté pour le poste-frontière de Corumba (Brésil). Une seule recommandation : soyez patients. How and where to cross the border Brazil – Bolivia When heading to Bolivia, we opted for the Corumba border post in Brazil. Only one recommendation: be patient. The first contact is, shall we say, amazing. After a fabulous month in Brazil, the “welcome” of the Bolivians is in fact slightly less warm. At the Corumba-Puerto Quijarro border post on December 23, the instructions are clear: take your time and above all do not count on any solidarity of circumstances. Eh oui, it's time to discover the legendary friendliness of the Bolivians. Watch out for rushed taxis On the paper side, everything is going smoothly. Be careful when leaving Brazil, taxis offering to take you immediately to Bolivia. Otherwise, you may have to return to the border. On the Bolivian side, we are granted 30 days of stay and given us the small proof of immigration to keep preciously until leaving the country. Easy to file at Santa Cruz On the financial side, the taxi between the land terminal of Corumba to the border post benefits from its monopoly position: 75 reais per trip (~20€)! Once at immigration control, get your passport stamped and you are in Puerto Quijarro. If you need a taxi right away, it will cost you 10 bolivianos (~2.5€). The wallet will appreciate. Depending on your route, buses, collectivos and trains depart regularly from Puerto Quijarro to Santa Cruz. Iguaçu Falls: Argentinian or Brazilian side, which is better?

  • Où dormir à Jaisalmer ? | Douzeregardsdumonde

    En plein centre du fort de Jaisalmer, Teju et son auberge Temple view offrent un super rooftop sur la ville. Et pour des prix très abordables. Where to sleep in Jaisalmer? Right in the center of the Jaisalmer fort, Teju and its Temple view hostel offer a great rooftop view of the city. And for very affordable prices. We liked it so we did a little advertising. On the end of our trip to Rajasthan, we spent 4 nights in Teju's hostel, Hotel Temple View, in Jaisalmer. You can sleep there for quite cheap depending on the comfort you are looking for. We got 400 rupees for two for 4 nights in a room with private bathroom. Nice view and good prices Once you have put your bags in your room, go up to the second floor. A super pleasant rooftop awaits you with a view of the Jain temple and sunset on the horizon. Regarding its menu, Teju offers quite affordable prices compared to its rooftop neighbors (thali at 100 rupees against 150 elsewhere). Although, of course, you will eat for less in the streets outside the fort. Desert option available We felt so good on this rooftop that we didn't move from there. But Teju offers desert tours at fair market entry prices (1200 rupees per person for one night with all meals included). To be discussed around a chai on the rooftop of course.

  • Mongolie : combien de temps passer à cheval ? | Douzeregardsdumonde

    Parti pour un tour de 15 jours en Mongolie, vers l’ouest du pays puis dans le désert de Gobi, on a passé quelques jours à cheval. Pour les novices, cela devrait suffire. How long to spend on horseback? Leaving for a 15-day tour in Mongolia, towards the west of the country then in the Gobi desert, we spent a few days on horseback. For novices, this should suffice. There are many formulas. Four days in the Orkhon valley, ten days in eastern Mongolia or even three weeks traveling the steppes. All of this, of course, on horseback. Everyone will have their own idea. But, for beginners, the first option seems the most balanced. Discovery of new muscles In the middle of an organized two-week tour, we rode on horseback for four days. The ride through the Orkhon Valley was well paced and challenged some previously unknown muscles. This short passage on horseback was finally the perfect timing. Because beautiful but a bit physical. In our group of seven, some have skipped half a day. 4 days to start and then... If four days are not enough, it is always possible to add another horseback excursion to the rest of your trip. For us, four days are in any case a good initiation to discover superb landscapes without suffering too much. Before, why not, prolong the pleasure.
