3-day Trekking in Rila Mountains

3-day Trekking in Rila Mountains 420 , 3 Days

Rila Mountains are not only the highest on the Balkans but in South Europe as well. Its highest mountain top is Musala (2925 m), but here you will find many more high peaks. Rila (the name comes from an old Slavonic word meaning "water mountain") looks like an ocean of mountain ridges, tops, deep gorges and over  150 crystal clear lakes. Due to the mild winds from the Mediterranean the mountains feature unique vegetation. 

Highlights:

Musala - Rila Mountain's highest peak (2925 m a.s.l)
♦ The Seven Rila Lakes

Most of you, who are used to walking/cycling during a long weekend, will be in condition to cope with a tour of this level. You should be in a good health condition. We have successive days of longer and more difficult walking and days of lighter walking/cycling. Some parts of the day routes are done at a higher altitude. The paths are in good condition. We walk/cycle for 5/7h a day.

These tours include trekking which is a little harder, normally on a challenging terrain. We take it for granted that you are in good condition and fit. You should be physically prepared at home to get the maximum of the tour. Most of the trekking is done at a greater height (max 3000m).

Cameroon Tour Guide: Best Places, Costs & Travel Tips

A Cameroon tour delivers more variety in one country than most African itineraries manage across three. Rainforest, volcanic peaks, Sahel savannah, Atlantic beaches and more than 250 ethnic groups sit within a single set of borders - which is why geographers have long called Cameroon "Africa in miniature". It is also one of the continent's least visited destinations, so the crowds you...

Mozambique Tour: Your Complete Guide to Africa's Indian Ocean Coast

A Mozambique tour swaps the safari-vehicle crowds for something rarer: 2,500 kilometres of Indian Ocean coastline, coral reefs that rank among the healthiest in Africa, and an Afro-Portuguese culture you will not find anywhere else on the continent. This is a beach-and-culture destination first, a wildlife one second - and that is exactly why it appeals to travellers who have already ticked off...

Visit Burundi: Burundi Trip Guide to Lake Tanganyika & Drums

A Burundi trip takes you to one of the least visited countries in Africa, and that is exactly the point. This small nation in the Great Lakes region receives a tiny fraction of the visitors who pour into neighbouring Rwanda and Tanzania, so you get drumming ceremonies, rainforest trails and a 1,400-metre-deep lake almost entirely to yourself. Burundi is not a polished safari product. It rewards...

Visit to Morocco: Best Places, Costs & Tips

A visit to Morocco drops you into a country of walled medinas, snow-capped peaks, saffron-coloured deserts and coastline on two seas - all within a few hours' drive of each other. Few destinations pack this much variety into one trip. You can haggle in a Marrakech souk at noon, watch the sun set over Sahara dunes the next evening, and sip mint tea in a blue mountain village two days later. This...
