What To Expect

Day 1: From Shkoder to Komani Lake and to Valbona

  • We start every Monday and Thursday from Shkodra. Our journey begins at 6:45 am, where our dedicated team will await you in front of the Rozafa Hotel. Upon boarding our comfortable van, we’ll traverse the picturesque route to Komani, a scenic 1.5-hour drive. (Alternatively, departure from Tirana at 5:30 am is available for an additional fee of 12€/person.)
  • Once in Koman, we will pause for a quick coffee with fellow travelers and our guide. Following this, we will embark on a charming small boat, navigating the tranquil waters of Komani Lake for approximately 75 minutes, ultimately reaching the picturesque Shala River, often referred to as Albania’s Thailand. Here, amidst the breathtaking nature and towering rocky mountains, we will have the opportunity to swim in the crystal-clear turquoise waters or simply relax on the beach. For those seeking additional adventures, options such as kayaking (10€/p.p) and ziplining (10€/p.p) are available. Before heading to Fierza, we will enjoy a traditional lunch.
  • In the late afternoon, around 15:00, the boat will guide us to Fierza, where a private car will be awaiting us to ensure a smooth drive for the next phase of our journey. Along the way, we will pass through the city of Bajram Curri, adorned with views of the Valbona River. Our exploration continues with visits to Xhema’s Little Lake and the unique Water Millstone. As evening descends, we will reach our guesthouse, where we will be welcomed by the warmth of the owners, concluding the day with a communal dinner featuring regionally inspired, homemade dishes.

Day 2: Hiking from Valbone to Theth

  • Awaken to breathtaking views and a traditional breakfast as we prepare for an amazing day of hiking. A private car awaits to convey us to the starting point of our scenic trek (car cost included). During the hike, two rest stops offer opportunities to savor drinks (not included) and capture the awe-inspiring vistas of the Dinaric Alps. We cannot describe the hike in many words; we will let it amaze you while you experience it.
  • Arriving in Theth, a waiting private car transports us to Nderlysaj, where we immerse ourselves in the beauty of natural cave bathtubs and the Blue Eye, a strikingly hued natural fountain. Afterward, we return to Nderlysaj, where our car awaits to take us back to the guesthouse. Here, we unwind in private rooms before relishing a communal dinner featuring fresh, traditional delights (all included).
