Kim Kardashian West and her sisters Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian are planning a trip to Armenia.

A source told E! News: "Visiting Armenia has been on Kim's bucket list forever.

"They are all so excited! They want to learn about their heritage."

Details of the trip are still being finalised, but the sisters are expected to be accompanied by some of their cousins and Kim, 34, is keen for her 17-month-old daughter North to join the group, while Kourtney plans to take her three kids, Mason, five, Penelope, two, and four-week-old Reign.

Kim's husband Kanye West also hopes to be there if his schedule allows, though it is not clear whether Kourtney's partner Scott Disick will make the trip.

Kim has previously admitted visiting Armenia is her "dream".

She has said: "People ask all the time if I am from there and unfortunately I have never been to Armenia, but it's my dream to go there for sure!"

And the brunette beauty has also admitted her father - who died of cancer in 2003 - would be very "proud" of how she and her sisters embrace their heritage.

She has said: "My great-grandfather was Armenian and my great-grandmother Turkish-Armenian. My mother is English, so I am half Armenian, but, I was raised with a huge Armenian influence, always hearing stories of Armenia, eating Armenian food and celebrating Armenian holidays.

"My father would be so proud that we talk about our Armenian heritage! My dad used to always tell us to never remove the -ian from our last name like some Armenians that came to the US.

"He was so proud to be Armenian and his biggest regret was not sending us to Armenian school! I am so proud to be Armenian and so happy that I can identify with my Armenian fans!"
