Bovilla Lake and Gamti Mountain Hike

  • Meet your Albanian tour guide at 8:00 AM at your hotel and begin your trip to Bovilla Lake. The road is about 21 km long, with half of it being off-road. Along the way, you will pass through the suburban neighbourhoods of Tirana, where you can observe a lifestyle very different from that of the city.

  • Drive up to the lake's dam, and once you reach Bovilla Lake, prepare for a hike on Gamti Mountain. The hiking trail is an easy one, and with every step, the views become more beautiful as you make your way to the top. The hike lasts about 40 minutes.

  • Reach the top of the hill and take in the impressive view of the lake and the green hills surrounding it. Enjoy the gorgeous scenery and eat your food in the shade of the cave.

  • Return along the same trail, which takes about 30 minutes.

  • Make a short stop at the river below the dam, where the canyons that have formed are unique. If you wish, you can also swim in the river's fresh water.

  • Return to Tirana.
