Gjirokastra Day Trip: Explore UNESCO Heritage, Scenic Views & Cuisine

Our guide will meet you at the meeting point / hotel at 06:00 am .
After 2 h 30 min you will arrive in Leqet e Hotit . Leqet e Hotit are located in Shkodra area , 730 m above sea level . Here you can admire beautiful roads winding from the top to the bottom by the side of the mountain. Deep down is the valley of Cem river. Time to take pictures of this breathtaking landscape.

Next, we follow the road by the valley toward Tamara village. Traditional stone and wooden buildings, the stone cobbled pavements, the luscious greenery and grey mountains overlooking, and the deep blue sky would exceed the imagination of even the most creative mind. The sun was shining brightly over Tamara village and the beauty of the nature simply couldn’t be matched by words.

Selca lies at 353-1100 m above the sea level and is home to some of the most beautiful nature treasures such as the Kelmend canyon, numerous caves, waterfalls, and breathtaking landscapes. For rafting lovers, Selca offers Cem river, which is best during April and May when you can also enjoy the Gerrli canyon. However, Selca waterfalls are a spectacular natural attraction worth visiting

The path toward a Selca (Sqapi) waterfall is by the side of the mountain, on a slippery rocky path where you have to be very careful and have experienced guides to have a safe hike. Along the way, the scenery of the mountains in early fall days is simply amazing. After about 90 minutes of hiking among rocks, leaves, and trees, we arrive to Selca waterfall. What a spectacular beauty, hidden among the mountains, deep inside the forest, with its white face shining brightly. We will sit in front of it, enjoy our packed lunch and drink from the cold fresh water from the waterfall. After two hours of relaxing at this spectacular site, we start preparing for the trip back in Tirana.
