update Another option is from Kilikia Bus Station take a bus going to Marshrutka 18the city of Ashtarak. Tell the driver you can need to get off at Bagavan. The bus will stop on the main road next to gas and petrol stations right before it at France Square at enters the Marshal Baghramyan Avenue (north west street direction)city of Ashtarak. It is like Marshrutka #57 yellow and cost 100 AMD (you pay when you go out)But I donYou't recommend ll find yourself on the main road that goes to take it because it is just crossing M1 Gevorg Chaush Street once and than it is driving already in the wrong directioncities of Gyumri or Vanadzor. The spot where road splits about 2-3 kilometers after - going to get out is difficult to realize, because #18 is driving often the left towards Gyumri and to the right turns towards Vanadzor and Armenia-Georgia border. The bus costs 250 AMD. This location is very good for hitchhiking and at in most of the M1 road cases you are still in the block house naighberhoodcan hitch a direct ride to Gyumri or to Aparan (direction towards Vanadzor).
You can also take bus #57 (colored yellow). Pay attention, at one point you'll notice you're at the city limits. Get off the bus. You'll see the highway running North. Start hitchhiking after the petrol station. Bus fee: 100 AMD.
Update and recommendation for Marshrutka #18 and #57. I would recommend to take metro to the last stop Barekamutyun. The exit is bit complicated but when you are at the street you can orientate better. You must go to Kievyan street.(it's the street which is heading bit downhill) In the beginning you will see a bus stop where #18 and #57 is passing by. With Mashrutka #57 you realize that you are nearly out of town when the block house naighberhood is ending and you are driving north at M1 Gevorg Chaush Street. You are passing some gas stations and the street is uphill. Go out there. Straight forward you see the highway bridge where you can walk to the highway and stop a car quite quick.== Wild camping ==

== Hitchhiking out ==
Hitchhiking out of town is pretty easy. Be careful of people who are actually taxis and want you to pay. But people stop relatively easily.

From the city center, or ''Yeritasardakan'' metro station, walk along Abovyan Street in direction north. When you reach a roundabout, take the second exit to the motorway. You will see a huge bridge - go under it. Approximately 100 m behind it there is a nice hitchhiking spot, next to a bus stop that almost nobody uses. There is no pedestrian crossing in the vincinity, and the road is huge, so better to choose the right side of the road already at the roundabout.
Another option is the bus 259 (long blue bus that looks quite modern compared to other buses) leaving from Kilikia Central Bus Station to Abovyan. It takes about 20-25 minutes to get out the city. Tell the driver you need to get off as Northern Bus Station (Hyuseesayeen Avtokayan in Armenian). Walk 10-15 meters along the road until you find a suitable spot, and start hitchhiking. Bus fee: 200 AMD (~$0,45).
There is also a free bus from Kilikia Central Bus Station to Abovyan that follows the same route as the bus #259. But not knowing Armenian, it will be hard to find the bus, because it has an Armenian language sign saying it's a charity bus The sign in Armenian is: "ԲԱՐԵԳՈՐԾԱԿԱՆ ԵՐԹՈՒՂԻ ԵՐԵՎԱՆ ԱԲՈՎՅԱՆ". If you manage to find it, take this bus (usually old soviet buses colored orange - [http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9F%D0%90%D0%97-3201|image on wikipedia]), get off at Northern bus station and hitchhike from there. Note that this is charity bus so you don't have to pay anything.
