With unparalleled local knowledge, our expert guides will lead you through highland pastures, secluded valleys, and ancient settlements where languages and traditions shift from one village to the next. Each day is crafted to showcase the heart of this semi-nomadic land while offering moments of indulgence, from fireside feasts to immersive stays in charming, traditional homes.
Arrive at the high peaks and green valleys of the stunning Kackar Mountains. We’ll begin biking straight away, pedaling over the region’s highland pastures, deep into the mountains. Reaching our campsite in Vercenik, get settled into camp before a well-deserved meal and an evening fireside.
Hiking along a bubbling stream through lush greenery, we’ll reach Kapili Lake, a landscape so beautiful it seems surreal. Bask in the natural beauty with a bit of meditation or quiet time lakeside. After hiking back down to camp, we’ll cook our dinner on an open fire with an interactive cooking workshop and have lots of time to swap stories around the campfire once again.
Today we’ll be back on the bikes, cycling down through traditional settlements and gorgeous pine forest to the riverside town of Cinciva. We’ll be staying in a traditional ‘konak’, a many-roomed home exemplifying the architecture of the region.
We’ll cap off our tour with a final hike through every imaginable shade of green, traversing the mountainous landscape from one village to another.
