SHORT ANSWER

Yes — the Armenia–Georgia land border is the practical overland route north.

Tourists can travel overland between Armenia and Georgia through official border crossings. If you are in a rental car, the important extra step is confirming that the rental company allows cross-border travel and what insurance or paperwork is required.

PRACTICAL INFO

Passport

Carry a valid passport. The international Yerevan–Tbilisi train also states that a valid passport is required to cross the state border.

PRACTICAL INFO

Rental cars

Do not assume a rental contract automatically allows you to take the vehicle into Georgia. Ask for written permission and current insurance instructions before booking.
