The tour is conveniently organized, and hotel accommodation helps to recuperate after a day of hiking along beautiful, but not the easiest paths for a citizen. We go
t to the end of May and the beginning of June, the weather was good, the heat only arrived in the last couple of days, and it rained at night.
Nikolay designed our routes so that the balance of ascents and descents was in our favor) The views were excellent, in some places we wanted to stay for a long time or for good. There are few tourists, so we got all the beauty of nature, watching birds, insects, spiders, mountain goats and all sorts of vegetable curiosities!
Breakfasts depend on the hotel (ratings range from almost nothing to excellent), lunch was mostly delicious, local cuisine, and dinner either in a cafe or just with goodies.
