    Trek the Kaçkar Valleys

    This tour takes on the lower slopes of the Kaçkar and can already take place in July, the beginning of the trekking season in this mountainous region.

This is a tour for those who don’t aspire to do the summit and prefer to stay in village houses and pensions. July and August are the best times to visit this heaven on Earth. You will walk from one mountain yayla (pasture) to the other and see glacial lakes, flowers and snowcapped peaks along the way.
