Breathtaking! The view is amazing! The guide Deo has a great ability to read the room and matches the vibe of the group. The bus driver was skilled which is important with those bumpy roads. Really recommend!

Bring a nice camera and some shoes with good grip. The short trek up the mountain is certainly worth it. I would describe it as low effort, high reward

The hike to Gamti Mountain with views over Bovilla Lake and the canyon was absolutely stunning. The scenery was peaceful and beautiful the entire way. Our tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even better. A perfect day trip from Tirana if you love nature and hiking.

Our guide Fjona was great! Really helpful all along the trip. It was a bit too hot so if you plan on going try to avoid the Summer heat and if you cannot do otherwise be sure ti take a swimsuit with you so you can take a swim in the lake and freshen up a bit 😊
