"Khosrov Forest" Reserve: Results of a Hiking Trip in Winter Conditions

🌲"Khosrov Forest" Reserve: Results of a Hiking Trip in Winter Conditions

On February 15, 2025, students of the Chair of Tourism, accompanied by lecturer T. Safaryan, went on a hiking trip in the Khosrov Reserve, covering a 22 km route in winter conditions. The hike was organized within the framework of the "Ecotourism and Life Safety" and "Sport and Extreme Tourism" courses, allowing students to apply the gained theoretical knowledge (orientation in the territory, assessment and bypassing dangerous areas of the hiking - avalanche-prone, icy sections, assessment of their own strengths and decision-making in extreme conditions)  in a natural environment, by acquiring skills in organizing and conducting hikes through personal experience, based on the rules of life and safety.
On March 20, 2025, at 14:20, a discussion of the results of the mentioned hike will be held in auditorium  501. 
The discussion topics are:
* reserves as places for organizing ecotourism;
* the possibility of choosing a route in reserves and organizing hikes;
* dangers encountered during hiking trips;
* the main features of organizing winter hiking trips: property, equipment, food;
* priority of goals․
